Environmentally Responsible Engineering
 UCSC Extension in Silicon Valley announces the first Green Manufacturing course for the electronic industry. It is part of our Embedded Systems certificate program under Hardware Systems and VLSI Engineering area. The course title is ’Designing and Building environmentally Sound Electronics’ (X400.087).
Today’s ’high-tech trash’ often ends up in landfills that may present harm to the people and the environment for generations to come. To combat this situation, most electronic companies have developed alternative materials or processes to become RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) or JIG (Joint Industry Guide) compliant, even though the reliability and economic impact of these new processes are still under intense debate in the industry.
This new course guides the manufacturing and operations professionals through the selection and certification process required for products to be RoHS and JIG compliant. This course enables the project team to pinpoint the right questions to ask of component and materials suppliers and provides a toolbox that will, when followed, enable fast introduction of RoHS and other compliance standards.

New Certificate Program
 UCSC Extension Silicon Valley announces a new certificate program on Software Engineering and Quality (SEQ).
Our newest certificate program offers an integrated approach to solving the challenge of how to educate the workforce on the software engineering process and quality control. This program provides essential courses covering all key factors of software success: requirements, design, programming, testing and management.
The new SEQ program is a consolidation of three current certificate programs: Software Engineering (SE), Software Quality Engineering and Management (SQEM) and Software Engineering Management (SEM). Our new curriculum still maintains the three focused areas while allowing students the freedom to broaden their knowledge and develop new career opportunities. This new program prepares professionals with hands-on skills and the knowledge necessary to be successful in a career that is touched by rapid changes in software technologies and business methods.
Classes are conveniently located in Cupertino and Sunnyvale. Students receive UC-quality instruction and a certificate with 14-units of credited courses.
