The 10 real skills this sim's scenes actually exercise — a scene can count toward more than one, since the real skills overlap too.

Standards alignment

Proposed mapping to ABET Student Outcomes (Criterion 3). Instructor review is required before using these mappings in accreditation evidence.

ABET 1

An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.

Exercised by: Process sequence awareness, Contamination-control fundamentals, Film thickness control, Etch selectivity and profile control, Lithography pattern transfer, Implant/anneal thermal-budget reasoning, CMP planarity control, Metrology and defect classification, Packaging sequence and reliability basics, Yield troubleshooting

ABET 2

An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs, considering public health, safety, and welfare, and global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.

Exercised by: Contamination-control fundamentals, Packaging sequence and reliability basics

ABET 6

An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.

Exercised by: Film thickness control, Etch selectivity and profile control, Lithography pattern transfer, Implant/anneal thermal-budget reasoning, CMP planarity control, Metrology and defect classification, Yield troubleshooting

ABET 7

An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Exercised by: Yield troubleshooting
