The engineering case study as a basis for the Master of Science thesis : the Teradyne, Inc. case study : a kinematic interface for semiconductor test equipment

A case-study-based Master of Science in Engineering program is proposed. The proposed program would create a mechanism for the generation and maintenance of case studies which address the trade-offs between business and technology ( "Engineering Case Studies"). An example of the Engineering Case method is presented in the form of an Engineering Case Study completed at Teradyne, Inc., a semiconductor test equipment manufacturer. Advantages of the proposed Master's program to the student and to industry are discussed, as are potential uses of the resultant Engineering Case Study in the classroom and in industry.
