3 Introduction The Wi-Rex project was proposed by the Microelectronics Students Group and aimed to: Attract students interested in learning about Integrated Circuit (IC) design. Allow students to work in a research and development environment. Acquire experience on areas not thoroughly covered in courses. February 17, /17

4 Introduction Several students from the first to the last year of Master in Electrical and Computers Engineering answered to the call. A heterogeneous design team was made possible: Possibility of assigning tasks according to the students experience. Knowledge sharing between the more experienced students and the younger ones. In addition, two students from the Electrical and Computers Engineering Doctoral Program were also enrolled in this project. February 17, /17

16 Conclusions Two ICs were designed and fabricated. The project managed to enroll students from different course years. Provided experience in research, and with industry-standard IC design tools. Conference Publications. Several oral communications. As future work, the testing of both ICs may provide data to correct eventual design flaws. After that it is possible to integrate all circuits into a single IC. February 17, /17
