Macro Certificates

Description

Macro-Certificates are comprehensive, in-depth training programs focused on specific topics within microelectronics. These courses combine theoretical instruction with hands-on practice using industry-standard tools. They are offered in synchronous sessions led by expert instructors. Participants receive a certificate upon successful completion.

Mode of Delivery: Synchronous online sessions Platform: Zoom Duration: 18–40 hours Available Asynchronously: No

Target Audience: Designed for U.S. citizens working in the Department of War, Government, or Government-affiliated employees, industry, as well as college students and faculty. To gain access to the materials, please ensure you have a nanoHUB account registered with your organizational email and follow these steps:

2. Request membership in the MEST group at https://nanohub.org/groups/mest.

What learners are saying

“Prof. Tawfik was outstanding!  He covered a great deal of material in a clear and concise manner. The fundamentals and FPGA/Verilog portions were great, and having a board to test on really helped a lot.”
