CD-ROM training courses

Two training courses titled "Semiconductor Processing Overview" and "Mathematics for Semiconductor Technicians" are available on CD-ROM. The first is designed to acquaint entry-level employees with basic terms and concepts used in electronics and integrated circuit fabrication through graphics and animation, simulations of processes and outcomes, and an animated glossary. The second combines audio, video, and text to develop math skills needed in a wafer fab, including basic math concepts; data organization; linear equations; exponential equations; logarithmic equations; ratios; quantitative measurements; trigonometric functions; scalars; vectors; and coordinate systems. An on-screen computer to assist in problem solving and a glossary of terms are also provided. Texas Engineering Extension Service, Electronics Training Division, College Station, TX; ph 800/541-7149.
