The International Conference on Microelectronic Systems Education (MSE) is dedicated to furthering undergraduate and graduate education in designing and building innovative microelectronic systems. Papers are invited (but not limited to) to the following areas: Pedagogical innovations using a wide range of technologies, including nanometer-scale integrated circuits, low-power design, nanotechnology, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), multicore/manycore processors, graphics processing units (GPUs), embedded systems, and wireless sensor networks. Educational techniques including novel curricula and laboratories, assessment methods, distance learning, textbooks, and design projects. Industry and academic collaborative programs and teaching. Preparing students for industry, entrepreneurship, academics, and/or research. The conference is held in the U.S. on odd years, and in Europe on even years, when it is called the European Workshop on Microelectronics Education (EWME). Both conferences provide excellent opportunities for educators and industry to work together to ensure continued excellence in the field of microelectronic systems.
