Electronic materials engineering majors learn to apply an understanding of the structure and properties of materials to the design of systems for creating useful products. The specific objectives include developing systems for materials processing in integrated circuit manufacture, catalyst production, polymer synthesis and fabrication of bioreactive materials.
Real World
The electronic materials engineering major prepares students for the modern electronics industry that, for several decades, has been centered here in Northern California. Our undergraduates enter the field prepared with a unique exposure to state-of-the-art integrated circuit fabrication facilities on the UC Davis campus, as well as an introduction to a range of optical and magnetic materials.
Major Requirements
The unique interdisciplinary major in electronic materials engineering allows students to take courses from both the electrical engineering and materials science and engineering majors.
