VLSI Design/Manufacturing Graduate Certificate
|
|
Banner Code: VS-CERG-VLSI
School: Volgenau School of Engineering
Department: Electrical and Computer Engineering
This certificate’s primary purpose is to provide a well-targeted graduate continuing education opportunity for people working in Northern Virginia’s semiconductor and intellectual property industry. This certificate is intended for students who want to advance their knowledge of very large scale integration (VLSI) design or manufacturing, but who do not necessarily wish to complete requirements for the MS in electrical engineering or computer engineering. The course work is designed so that graduate students can reach a demonstrated level of competence in VLSI design or VLSI manufacturing. Course work toward the graduate certificate may be used for credit toward the MS in electrical engineering or computer engineering. The certificate may be pursued concurrently with any of the graduate degree programs in the Volgenau School.
Admission Requirements
The program is open to all students who hold a BS degree in scientific and engineering disciplines and hold graduate student status (degree or non-degree) in the Volgenau School. Students with nonscientific and nonengineering degrees are required to take remedial courses before being admitted into the certificate program. |
Certificate Requirements
The certificate is awarded on completion of five graduate courses (15 credits): including a required foundation course and a compulsory core course. A cumulative GPA of 3.00 is required, and only one course with a grade of C may be applied toward the certificate. At most, one course may be transferred from graduate course work completed at another accredited university. VLSI Design Emphasis (15 credits):
VLSI Manufacturing Emphasis (15 credits):
