Overview

Integrated circuit engineers develop and design circuits that play a central role in countless modern electronic devices, appliances, and vehicles. These circuits add smarts and complex functionality to wide variety of devices including computers, phones, medical instruments and implants, automobiles, power generation and distribution systems, airplanes, consumer electronic devices, and home appliances.

Depending on the courses selected, completion of integrated circuits area coursework can provide additional understanding of the physics underlying circuit design especially as electronics move into the quantum regime.

Integrated circuits engineers find employment with large chip manufacturers, such as Intel and AMD, electronic design automation tool developers, and in the avionics, automobile and telecommunication industries.
