Master of Science degree in Microsystems Engineering
(Professional Track)
We are offering a one-year “professional track” in MS in Microsystems
Engineering. This leads to a graduate degree that will
(a) help you learn microsystems and nanosystems
engineering principles,
(b) prepare you for the PhD/ENGR degree by taking
several required courses while earning the MS degree, and
(c) provide hands-on laboratory experience in microfabrication
and microelectronics.
The degree would entail no thesis and no research-based practicum, and
will require a total of 33 SCH.
It is possible to complete this degree in one year (three quarters plus
one summer).
