Professional Education

CREATE now offers the following courses for continuing education.

Design Issues: These program modules cover the design issues associated with development of a modern semiconductor fabrication facility. Industry experts will explain the programming process and the issues surrounding the decisions made regarding the structure, HVAC systems, ultra pure water, chemical and gas systems, electrical and life safety systems, the automated material handling systems and preparing for installation of process tools. An introduction to building codes and code compliance issues is also available.

Construction Issues: These program modules cover the issues associated with advanced technology facility construction. Industry experts will help you to understand the issues surrounding the organization and project management decisions made regarding estimating, scheduling, permitting, startup and commissioning, and certification for a modern semiconductor manufacturing plant.

Codes and Code Compliance Issues: This program is to provide members of the design and construction community with advanced tools for the development of cost effective means to achieve expedited code compliance in semiconductor facilities. The presentations discuss a variety of problematic code issues that frequently plague the development of new and retrofit wafer fab projects. While special emphasis is given to facilities used for the manufacturing of semiconductor products, the information provided is applicable to other types of projects in which compliance with the strict letter of the codes is either difficult or practically impossible.

Project Management for Advanced Technology Facilities: Learn valuable insight into dealing with the management and project delivery issues (design, construction and startup) as it relates to advanced technology facilities. This program will help you gain an understanding of basic project management and organizational concepts that will help to reduce the costs of projects and bring them online in a timely manner.
