Leveraging the diversity of the fields in which the program officers, including those from companies, are involved such as materials, processing, devices, etc., this educational program addresses electronics from a broader perspective.
Designed mainly for program students aiming to become Investigators or Innovators, the program offers an integrated experiment leading up to the final product. Students are expected to experience for themselves the variety of technologies involved in manufacturing, realize the need for team collaboration, and hone their ability to look ahead to a final product.
Examples of themes of the Practical Training in Product Development
- Fabrication of GaN transistors for power conversion and their application to inverter circuits
- Development of IoT sensors equipped with energy harvesting devices
- Development of hang glider models using the approach of digital manufacturing, and practical training in controlling them
- Development of remote device control applications
