Learning these manufacturing process facts is interesting, but in no way do you develop problem solving skills
Only take if you are serious about devices.

Some repersentative comments/advice from students that they would have liked to have prior to taking this course

Neugroschel is friendly and his tests are fair but the lectures are boring.

Class has potential to be interesting, but Neugroschel makes it boring and dry.

The textbook is the worst piece of garbage that I have ever used. It looks like it was designed by blind fashion designers from the 80's and is just about as informative.

Unless you're interested in learning about semiconductor fabrication don't take this class. At that, you don't really gain a lot of insight to this field anyways (7 weeks of the class were spent reviewing EEL3396). If you like devices take EEL 4310, it is much better.

Professor can write faster than he can think. So you need to be patient in class for him to think about what he wants to say next.
