Semiconductor Degree & Training Programs

The master’s in electrical engineering program prepares graduates to meet the technological challenges of the 21st century. Electrical and computer engineering graduates are sought by every major industry in the economy from aerospace, automotive, medical and nuclear companies to electronic, computer, power and communications organizations.

The learning experience includes system/system design, manufacturing and testing, computational fluid dynamics and simulation, and research and development of complex systems. The university is surrounded by thriving organizations such as NASA/Kennedy Space Center, Patrick Air Force Base, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Embraer, GE, Harris, and Piper Aircraft, who provide internship and employment opportunities.

PhD in electrical engineering students find a culture of innovation at Florida Tech, with an opportunity to delve into research topics that best align with their particular area of specialization. The second largest engineering program at the university, electrical engineering doctoral students find themselves in an attractive position for employment with Florida Tech's location among one of the largest high-tech workforces in the nation.

Five areas of specialization are offered to students in the mechanical engineering PhD program: automotive engineering; dynamic systems: robotics and controls; hydrogen and fuel cell technology; solid mechanics and materials; or thermal fluid sciences. Prior to beginning the program, candidates map out their own course of study with a faculty mentor whose professional field is aligned to the student's career goals and interests.

This 60-credit program prepares students for engineering/manufacturing technology support positions dealing with PLCs, automation and control systems in high-tech production, manufacturing, production/inventory control, instrumentation, hydraulics, pneumatics, and semiconductors.

Students in this program will learn skills in computer technology and IT design and building.

This program allows students to develop light-dependent technologies for the semiconductor industry.

This degree will give students the skills to design infrastructures and systems with the support of local construction leaders.

This comprehensive degree program was developed in part by the Florida Advanced Technological Education (FLATE) Center to give manufacturers and advanced technology industries qualified, highly skilled workers. The program offers four sub-plans including Advanced Manufacturing and Electronics.

This degree program prepares students to innovate, design and maintain electrical devices and systems.

This degree program will prepare students for industries that include product development and commercialization in nanotechnology research.

The program offers study in all areas fundamental to electrical engineering and the electrical sciences - circuit analysis and design, electronics, communications, electromagnetics, controls, solid state, system analysis, MEMS, bioelectrical devices, and power engineering.

Mechanical engineering is a discipline that applies the principles of physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production, and operation of machines and tools. It is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines.

The department research areas are supported by state of the art facilities for nano/micro fabrication, metrology and characterization, as well as industry-standard computer-aided-design and simulation software. We also emphasize the professional development of students through high-quality scholarly publications, presentations at international conferences, and participation in grant proposal development.

Materials science applies the fundamental principles of physics and chemistry to engineering materials, with a focus on the interrelationship between material structure, their properties, and the means by which they are processed. Mse impacts multiple facets of our economy, such as aerospace, electronics, transportation, communication, construction, recreation, entertainment, environment and energy.
