Overview
Students majoring in ECE with a Semiconductor emphasis develop the devices, systems, and technologies used to implement modern electronics devices and systems. Further, they support research into new technologies that e.g. will extend Moore's Law into the future.
Depending on the courses selected, completion of semiconductor area coursework can provide additional understanding of topics in quantum mechanics, semiconductor device fabrication, and solid state devices.
Students interested in this EFA are encouraged to consider the course suggestions listed below when completing their Plan of Study Form.
