Graduate Concentration in Microelectronics and Advanced Semiconductors
The Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers a concentration in microelectronics and advanced semiconductors for ECE graduate students.
Required courses: To earn the concentration, students must complete the following coursework:
-
Three credits from the core courses list below
-
An additional 6 credit hours from the additional courses list below
Focus areas: This concentration has these three focus areas; students can take courses from multiple focus areas to meet the concentration requirements:
-
Circuit Design (CD)
-
Devices and Manufacturing (DM)
-
System Design (SD)
Plan of study: ECE graduate students should include the concentration on their plan of study. The concentration is then listed on the student’s Purdue transcript.
If you have already submitted your plan of study, you can submit a revision to add the concentration.
For additional information: Contact Matt Golden or Lynn Hegewald.
