Curriculum

Technology entrepreneurship has an important role both in training entrepreneurship and emphasizing the importance of venture business to students majored in science and engineering. The level of understanding real-life venture businesses will also be enhanced through case studies.

This course covers key issues in initiating an IT venture startups including business idea development, business model, growth strategy, business plan, and fundraising strategy. Students work in teams throughout the semester in simulating venture formation, which ends up with business plan presentation at the end of the semester.

Based on basic concepts in semiconductor physics, this course covers fundamental principles of optoelectronic devices, such as semiconductor-based light emitters and photodetectors, for modern photonics and optoelectronics applications.

Technology for Silicon Semiconductor IC (Integrated Circuit) chip which is the basis of modern electronic systems, will be covered, focusing on its historical background, structures of modern semiconductor devices, and fabrication processes. Current and future trends of semiconductor IC technology will also be discussed.
(Prerequisite: EE211, EE362)

This course will teach students the fundamental principles and concepts for an electric power system with an emphasis on renewable energy technologies that are important from the perspectives of electrical engineering.

This course aims to provide a broad viewpoint about 3D stacked and heterogeneously integrated semiconductor devices and its history. It will include how to fabricate those devices and its potential applications such as CMOS, Si photonics, Image sensors, MicroLED displays, etc. At the same time, related fundamental device physics will be introduced.

This course will introduce elementary concepts of biomedical electronics and guide students on how to apply their electrical engineering skills to solve problems in medicine and biology. Topics include biomedical sensors, nano-biosensors, nano-bio actuators, bio-inspired devices for medicine, non-invasive and ubiquitous body sensing, and their clinical applications.

Tremendously many kinds of sensors are being used in modern engineering systems, and they are directly connected to the electronic devices or systems. This course primarily emphasizes the fundamentals of measurements, sensors and their interfaces to the electronic systems.

This lecture deals with a key element such as thin film transistor (TFT) for thin film electronics, being the most important device on flat panel display applications as well as 3D stackable semiconductor devices. In this course, we shall start with fundamentals and a concise historical perspective. Then, we will learn about structure, fabrication and transistor characterization. Additionally, taking into account that the semiconductor for TFT is made of thin film process, we shall explore TFTs with various thin film semiconductors (amorphous Si, poly-Si, and electronically active oxide semiconductor.

Recent advancement in A.I. and machine learning requires us to think more systematically about what it means for a machine to be “intelligent”. How is human intelligence based on biological brain different from artificial intelligence? And also: what are the societal implications of A.I.?
