Microelectronics Technology

Program Description

Microelectronics is the field of designing and manufacturing very small electronic parts. These parts include integrated circuits (ICs) that power many modern devices. The field combines ideas from electrical engineering, materials science, and nanotechnology.

In our Microelectronics Technology program, you will:

• Learn concepts like Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, and other circuit analysis techniques
• Use and troubleshoot digital systems
• Gain foundational knowledge of alternating currents
• Study semiconductor devices used in circuits
• Learn how to maintain, troubleshoot, and repair systems and equipment
• Train on the safety and use of test equipment

After completing our program, you will be able to:

• Apply the basic principles of semiconductor manufacturing to real-world settings
• Support manufacturing processes in microelectronics and manufacturing fields
• Follow industry safety and quality standards

Before You Enroll, Think About
