Quarter Curriculum - For Reference Only
Effective fall 2013, RIT will convert its academic calendar from quarters to semesters. The following content has been made available as reference only. Currently matriculated students who began their academic programs in quarters should consult their academic adviser for guidance and course selection.
This minor is designed to provide basic knowledge of microelectronics and nanofabrication to non-microelectronic engineering students from math and statistics, science, and other engineering disciplines. It is intended for students interested in career opportunities in microelectronics and nanotechnology that may involve working in the semiconductor industry. This program also prepares students to pursue graduate studies in microelectronics, microsystems engineering, novel semiconductor applications, and nanotechnology.
