Sponsoring Academic Department: Materials Science and Engineering


A revolution in materials science and engineering is taking place as researchers find ways to pattern and characterize materials at the nanometer length scale. New materials with outstanding electrical, optical, magnetic and mechanical properties are rapidly being developed for use in information technology, bioengineering, and energy and environmental applications. Learn how to use nanofabrication and nanocharacterization to make advanced materials and devices with desired properties.

The program requires completion of three courses with a letter grade indicator of 3.0 or better. One course of the student's choice can be taken from outside the Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) Department.

			MSE 312 New Methods in Thin Film Synthesis
			MSE 316 Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology
			MSE 323 Thin Film and Interface Microanalysis
			MSE 343 Organic Semiconductors for Electronic and Photonic Devices
			EE336 / MSE 346 Nanophotonics
			MSE 358 Fracture and Debonding of Materials and Thin Film Structures
		Examples of Non-MSE Courses
			EE 212 Integrated Circuit Fabrication Process
			EE 216 Principles and Models of Semiconductor Devices

To begin working toward this graduate certificate, enroll in any of the required courses as a Non Degree Option (NDO) student. For assistance in planning your course of study, contact the SCPD Electrical Engineering Course Advisor, EE.CourseAdvisor@scpdinfo.stanford.edu.
