Abstract :
Semiconductors are at the core of today´s $1 Trillion/year electronics industry. The semiconductor industry itself is large and expanding rapidly. To sustain this rapid growth there is an equal need for rapid growth of the educational programs that prepare engineers for the semiconductor industry. These programs are described in general and the program at Rochester Institute of Technology is described in detail to illustrate what undergraduate microelectronic engineering educational programs can accomplish
