RIT's microelectronic engineering program merges electrical engineering fundamentals with material science and optical engineering to develop skills in designing, manufacturing, and incorporating microelectronic or nanoelectronic circuits and sensors.
With the global semiconductor industry expanding rapidly, this degree provides exceptional preparation for tackling professional challenges in one of engineering's most dynamic and fast-growing fields.
Your studies start with foundational microelectronic engineering and nanolithography (nanopatterning) courses for integrated circuits. The initial year establishes core knowledge in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, while addressing critical topics like technological advancement, ethical considerations, social implications, and international viewpoints. Second-year coursework delves into statistical principles for experimental design, semiconductor device physics, and integrated circuit fabrication techniques.
