degree - MEME/SEM

Master of Engineering in Manufacturing Engineering (MEME) with Semiconductor and Electronics Manufacturing (SEM) CONCENTRATION

The Semiconductor Manufacturing Concentration leads to a Master of Manufacturing Engineering degree with objectives to provide, (1) a broad semiconductor industry background, and (2) an academic bridge to this industry from a variety of academic backgrounds, such as Chemical, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering. Instruction for this program makes use of semiconductor industry experts and National Laboratory staff and facilities to augment UNM's extensive interdisciplinary educational resources. This expanded mix insures a broad, modern experience in each of the areas that makeup the semiconductor fabrication enterprise, ranging from organization and management to design and processing specific technologies through the varied packaging and tests that insure reliability of the final microelectronics product.

Six courses make up the core technical part of the curriculum and three courses overview management practices. The core technical courses are divided into modules, each of which has an individual instructor. This team-teaching approach insures maximum exposure to scientists and engineers with experience in modern microcircuit fabrication and test.

The S/C Concentration Plan can be entered via the ChNE, ECE, or ME Home departments.
