Semiconductors and Materials

The bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 is resulting in significant investments to strengthen American manufacturing of semiconductors and microelectronics. This investment will boost semiconductor research, development, and production, ensuring U.S. leadership in the technology that forms the foundation of everything from automobiles to household appliances to defense systems. Because of this initiative, engineers with an in depth knowledge of memory and semiconductor materials.

Materials Science and Engineering degrees at all levels support students being well prepared to enter this workforce – over 30% of BS, Masters, and Doctorate Alumni are currently working in semiconductor related jobs. Alumni are employed in a wide range of positions locally, regionally, and globally at companies including Micron Technology, Inc., Photronics, Intel, Applied Materials, ASML, Tokyo Electron, and more!
