Master in Ingegneria (M.Eng.) in Ingegneria dei Plasmi

The MEng in Engineering, Plasma Engineering Concentration is a professionally oriented degree program for students whose primary intent is a career in industry or government. This degree differs from the Master of Science degree in that it is a terminal degree, not a pathway to a doctoral program. Concentrations under the MEng in Engineering major include Aerospace Systems Engineering, Autonomy and Robotics, Digital Agriculture, Energy Systems, Instrumentation and Applied Physics, and Plasma Engineering.

The M.Eng. in plasma engineering is an industry-oriented degree that prepares graduates to drive innovation and become leaders in etching, deposition, and lithography, all of which are essential to the production of semiconductor chips. Knowledge and experience in using and understanding plasmas is vital, but largely missing from the education of professionals in the field. Finding solutions to current and future processing challenges requires a mastery of the core concepts of plasma engineering and topical depth in a professional focus area. This professionally oriented master's degree helps students to develop this expertise and gain hands-on experience with a practicum or a project.
