Tutorials On Line

Free Online Tutorials and Short Courses from past years of ISSCC are a new member benefit beginning 2011. Renowned experts in their fields help you get up to speed very quickly in a new area and provide insight into ongoing developments. Great for graduate students to fill out their knowledge portfolio. Great for the experienced engineer to ensure broad integration of his skill set and understanding. One-screen IEEE web account window will verify your SSCS membership.  Download the transcript to make notes as you go. The Camtasia file will start to play after about 90 seconds of loading, then continue to load while you are listening.  Advancing the program before the full file has loaded won't work.  But after a few minutes you will be able to select for playing diffferent locations further in the program.  Programs  from 2007 forward, can be controlled by selecting a slide number table of contents.  For earlier years you can advance the progress bar to locations deeper in the 90-minute program once the remainder of the file has loaded.
