The program is supported by major companies involved in semiconductor manufacturing.

Students can gain hands-on experience in a laboratory facility dedicated to this program.

Description:

The industry sponsored Program for Semiconductor Device Engineering (SDE) prepares students for professional careers in semiconductor design and manufacturing. One of the most exciting aspects of this program is that it is a true collaboration between the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and leading companies in the semiconductor industry.

The purpose of the program is to help meet the enormous demand for trained semiconductor engineers. The curriculum is designed to provide students with a working knowledge of both the theory and practice of semiconductor design and manufacturing. Students accepted into this program take course work, and then apply for an internship at one of the industry sponsors' facilities during the summer or long semester.

Working with the expert faculty at TTU and in industrial facilities with industry mentors provides the student with the foundation necessary to make a positive contribution as a semiconductor product engineer immediately upon graduation. The program provides a broad background in semiconductor technology, including testing, process, design, failure analysis, and business concepts. The program is supported by major companies involved in semiconductor manufacturing and equipment.

An industry internship is an integral part of the program. Students receive a generous scholarship while participating in the program.
