NC State's new hybrid M.S. in Wide Bandgap Semiconductors is preparing engineers for one of the fastest-growing corners of the chip industry, with its first cohort starting this fall.

The program covers silicon carbide and gallium nitride materials that handle higher power and heat than traditional silicon, skills now in demand for electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and aerospace. Faculty and industry partners from companies like MACOM and Wolfspeed helped shape the curriculum around the roles employers are actually hiring for, from device design to power electronics.

It's a clear example of NC State ECE building graduate programs directly around where the semiconductor industry is headed. ⚡

The technology powering electric vehicles, clean energy and aerospace was largely developed right here in North Carolina. NC State is where that work continues.

We're launching the Master of Science in Wide Bandgap Semiconductors this fall, the first program of its kind, designed for engineers ready to lead in SiC, GaN and the systems they power.
Applications close June 25.
