The Professional Degree Programs meet the educational needs of engineering, information, and telecommunications management professionals.
Courses focus on issues that managers in technology-based organizations typically confront.
Courses are offered in the evenings and occasionally on Saturdays to accommodate working professionals. This graduate-level training program has been formulated recognizing that semiconductor materials such as silicon form the heart of modern electronic systems, and that electronics is one of the major sources of new business and career opportunities in the United States. This program is intended for those who wish to specialize in studies of the high-technology methods that are used for the growth, fabrication, and insertion of semiconductor material into advanced electronic devices. These devices, in turn, are used to build modern electronic systems for applications such as telecommunications, computers, and aerospace, as well as in industrial, medical, automotive, and consumer electronics. The technical content of this program was formulated to enable students with a wide diversity of training through the bachelor degree level in science or engineering to successfully complete the program.
