Bachelors of Science in Microelectronics Engineering

Are you interested in a unique opportunity to study microelectronics in both
the U.S. and Dubai?
By undertaking a degree in microelectronics at RIT, you’ll have the unique
opportunity to get to grips with the basics of a complex engineering area by
studying in Dubai for the first two years, followed by three years specializing at
RIT in New York, including 50 weeks of cooperative education. You’ll benefit
from a cooperative internship placement at a company in the U.S. or abroad
for a year, putting the theory you have learnt at RIT Dubai and RIT to the test.
Throughout the program you’ll learn how to successfully use ideas from many
disciplines. Your studies will provide you with a comprehensive interdisciplinary
background in electrical and computer engineering, solid-state electronics,
physics, chemistry, materials science, optics, and applied math and
statistics necessary for success in the semiconductor industry.
Our faculty is committed to quality engineering education, state-of-the-art
laboratories, strong industrial support, co-op opportunities with national
companies, and small class sizes, all of which make this one of the most
rewarding programs in the country.
The fabrication of semiconductor devices and systems through
microelectronics technology is a key driver of the world economy and the
semiconductor industry is a shining example of U.S. manufacturing
capability. The RIT NY campus developed the first bachelor of science
degree program in microelectronics engineering in the U.S., and the college
continues to provide highly educated and skilled design, process, yield
enhancement and test engineers for industry.
