Beyond Conventional E-Studies: Immersive Learning Opportunities for Electrical Engineers

Virtual reality and augmented reality (or VR and AR) are just two examples of human-machine interfaces (HMIs) that are integral to immersive learning. Using industry-focused simulations, such HMIs can educate both prospective and experienced electrical engineers for practical work—and ultimately help companies to safely and affordably take on engineering graduates.

The Challenges Associated with 3D IC Implementation

A new trend of vertically-stacked integrated circuits (or circuitry) is being touted as a means to decelerate Moore’s law. Set to meet electronic device requirements like lower power consumption and higher performance, 3D integration is piquing the interest of several design teams who plan to efficiently pack high functionality into small form factors. There are, however, both advantages and challenges alike.
