The pace of product design, development, and manufacturing is accelerating like never before, and consumers are demanding more from their products. Many products, like coffee makers and even doorbells ...

Once upon a time, integrated circuits (ICs) were built by the same companies that designed them. The design of an IC was tightly integrated with the manufacturing processes available within each ...

Identify needs, which may include the learning context and audience. How do you get there? Start with writing goals and learning objectives, then focus on assessments, learning activities, and ...

There are a host of hardware accelerators for various machine-learning ML models. To wit, Renesas has come up with a ternary SRAM-based system to accelerate convolutional-neural-network (CNN) ...

Have you ever thought about how and why something was designed? Who was considered a “stakeholder” for the design? And what biases are baked within the process of designing something? These are some ...

Build better UIs using Gemini 3 paired with Nano Banana, a four-step flow including asset extraction for 3D objects to speed ...

We all love coming up with ideas and solutions to problems, but if we do not carefully consider our approach to the development of the solution, what we manufacture may not meet the client’s needs.

Video standards and methods of encoding/decoding have made tremendous progress over the last decade with the availability of large system-on-a-chip (SOC) solutions using ASSPs, ASICs, or FPGAs. The ...

Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) are certainly hot topics these days, but the nuances and details are often lost in the hype and high-level views of the solutions. Even dropping ...

Watch as a group of young engineers use the design process to build a bike trailer. Watch as a group of young engineers at the Acera School use the design process to build a trailer to transport ...
