This included exposure to major stages such as device design, wafer fabrication, lithography, deposition, etching, testing, and packaging. Seeing these processes firsthand helped students understand the complexity, precision, and interdisciplinary coordination involved in modern chip manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the initiative bridged theory and practice by connecting coursework to real semiconductor workflows, research infrastructure, and career pathways in advanced electronics and industry R&amp;D.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-22720\" src=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/ece\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/IMG_6257-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/ece\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/IMG_6257-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/ece\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/IMG_6257-1024x769.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/ece\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/IMG_6257-768x577.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/ece\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/IMG_6257.jpeg 1169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-22721\" src=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/ece\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/IMG_5890-177x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"177\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/ece\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/IMG_5890-177x300.jpeg 177w, https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/ece\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/IMG_5890-605x1024.jpeg 605w, https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/ece\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/IMG_5890-768x1300.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/ece\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/IMG_5890-907x1536.jpeg 907w, https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/ece\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/IMG_5890-1210x2048.jpeg 1210w, https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/ece\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/IMG_5890-scaled.jpeg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 177px) 100vw, 177px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The A*STAR Industry Engagement Initiative on 30 Jan 26 was organized by the ECE Club to expose students to real-world research and industrial practice beyond classroom theory.
