Higher Diploma in Microelectronics (Mandarin)

(E-Learning)

Aims & Learning Outcomes

The programme Higher Diploma in Microelectronics (Mandarin) (E-Learning) is an online course using Mandarin as the medium of teaching.  

This programme offers learners a rigorous engaging learning and training experience. It aims to equip learners with knowledge and skills which they can subsequently apply in their further study and/or future careers in microelectronics field and semiconductor industry. 

It is designed to provide learners with the knowledge of electronics fundamentals, semiconductor physics and technologies, integrated circuit (IC) design, wafer fabrication as well as relevant practical skills through various hands-on experiments and projects.

Learning Objectives 

At the end of this programme, students will be able to: 

  • iExplain the essential knowledge and skills in the field of Microelectronics
  • iAnalyse problems related to the modules studied
  • iPerform integrated circuit design and integrated circuit wafer fabrication
  • iApply the knowledge and skills learnt to design/develop solution to address related industry issues

    Delivery and Assessment

    1. Students will be taught in a virtual learning environment, where they will study a digital-based curriculum taught by qualified and trained educators. Students will typically attend live-streamed online lectures/lessons. Self-paced (asynchronous) instruction will supplement the live online classes.  

      Students learn in a variety of ways and, therefore, should be expected to engage in different learning patterns (independent learning, group work, computer based workshops, class presentation, essay writing, etc.) 

      The teaching, learning and assessment strategy of each module has been designed to ensure that  teaching methods are appropriate for achieving the learning objectives of the module. 

      Assessments will be conducted via a robust online examination platform, integrated into the LMS, to ensure that online examinations are systematically scheduled, conducted and evaluated with integrity.

    4. A wide variety of assessment methods will be employed and these include: Time constrained examinations, open book examinations, assignments, presentations, peer assessment, projects, etc. 

       

    Duration

    1. This is a part-time course and will run for 36 months. Delivery will be for 3 hours per day for 3 days every week for a total of 672 hours. Students are expected to complete the course in 36 months.  

      Minimum class size is at 30 students. 

      Maximum candidature period for a student to complete the course is 36 months.
