Program Overview
You can start taking credit classes that apply toward the MT degree at the beginning of any term. See the academic calendar for term start dates.
Our Associate of Applied Science in Microelectronics lays the foundation for critical thinking and problem solving skills, providing courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics and electronics before introducing courses in semiconductor manufacturing and process equipment. In our program, you’ll learn how to take silicon from its raw state and fashion it into wafers, manufacture the integrated circuits on wafers, and finally test the integrated circuits to see if they meet stringent specifications.
As a professional wafer technician working in a clean room, you must follow strict procedures in order to reduce particle count in the manufacturing while following safety procedures for handling processing chemicals and gases. You must also have a broad range of skills, including good English communication and the ability to thrive in a team-oriented organization. By graduation, you’ll have learned all the skills you need for an entry-level position.
