Work-in-Progress: Needs and Training in Microelectronics Courses in the MicroElectronics Cloud Alliance

The MicroElectronics Cloud Alliance brings together eighteen partners from higher education institutions and enterprises to develop Cloud-based European infrastructure and a new educational system for micro and nanoelectronics, providing a range of open educational resources, remote access and sharing of educational and professional software as well as remote and practice-based learning facilities. The aim of the mClouds project is to define and develop this cloud-based European infrastructure. For this purpose, an analysis of institutions', teachers' and students' needs was carried out in shared IT infrastructure, teaching materials and learning resources, thus meeting the requirements of enterprises in micro- nanoelectronics, and translated into functional specifications of mClouds, obtaining direct information from the users of the courses that allows a feedback and an improvement of the courses.
