With the complexity of megachips announced by several companies, the engineering of microelectronic processes and design will be impossible without the use of computers. An innovative approach for preparing engineering students in Singapore by integrating computer aided engineering (CAE) skills in the laboratory environments is described in this paper. This integrative training is supported by use of simulation packages extensively used by industry worldwide. These packages allow students to simulate their processes enabling them to design an engineering experiment most likely to succeed. The use of word processing and graphics software available on PC's and Mac's spread all over the campus enhances their communication skills in preparing formal reports and presentations. The enhancement of technical and other liberal learning skills of the engineering students by integrative teaching involving theory, computer simulation, and design is emphasized. © 1993 IEEE
