About this Specialization
Applied Learning Project
While mastering the fundamental physics of semiconductors and their role in modern technology, you will engage in homework problem sets that challenge you to apply operating principles in derivations and calculations. In addition, you will engage in complex analysis and derivation tasks in consultation with peers to synthesize your theoretical knowledge.
