Semiconductor Manufacturing Industrial (SEMI) Engineering M.Eng. Pathway
As the worldwide need for efficient, resilient manufacturing systems is growing rapidly, so is the demand for skilled engineers to develop these systems. The Cornell Systems Engineering program has developed the Semiconductor, Manufacturing, and Industrial Engineering (SEMI) pathway to meet this need.
Design Your Own Pathway
Work with your academic advisor to create a program that meets degree requirements and supports your goals. Combine systems engineering coursework with electives in various fields to create your own custom two-semester M.Eng. pathway in a field that’s right for you. Below is a list of past pathways that students have designed. All but the last four are available to either on-campus or distance-learning students.
