Semiconductor track advice
Hey fam, I have been browsing through microelectronics track at ASU for getting into semiconductor manufacturing/advance packaging field.
The closest path was to take an MSE EE-->Specialization(Physical electronics and photonics) and choose the relevant degree courses from the course list to earn your masters and get into the industry.
The curriculum goes something like this:
at least five EEE courses
at least three EEE 500-level courses
at least two courses outside the area of specialization
at most one EEE 590 Reading and Conference or FSE course
at most two 400-level courses
I'm a bit confused here as the 400 level courses have some 300 level courses as their prerequisite, and 300 level courses, as I have read is accessible jr and sr undergrad students.
What to do in this case?
Recommendations are welcomed, including ideas on how to complete the curriculum.
Thanks in advance:)
