Hong Kong is rapidly shifting to a knowledge-based economy. There is an increasing need to upgrade the knowledge of the professional workforce, particularly on subjects which are related to modern technological advances in the fields of information technology and integrated circuit (IC) design engineering.
IC technology has been the principal driver of the electronics industry in the past thirty years. The advancement of integrated electronics from the microscale to the nanoscale is critical to the advancement of information technology for another thirty years to come.
The Master of Science (MSc) Program in IC Design Engineering is designed for professionals with a bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Science who are interested in acquiring in-depth knowledge in microelectronic engineering, or upgrade their knowledge in the subjects of IC design engineering.
Identify, formulate, analyze and design integrated circuits and systems for various applications;
Design and conduct experiments and analyze and interpret the resultant data;
Use appropriate simulation tools to help design integrated circuits and systems with good understanding of their limitations and optimization;
Design and simulate basic integrated circuits and systems subject to practical constraints; and
Communicate effectively design choices and considerations via oral presentations and written reports.
Students must complete 4 credits of EESM 6980.
A bachelor's degree with second class honors in Electronic Engineering, Engineering Science or Physical Sciences
