Micro and Nanoelectronics Engineering

Overview

In addition to being able to respond to complex problems and provide solutions to challenges experienced in the field of integrated circuit (IC) and systems on package (SoP) design, the Master in Micro and Nanoelectronics Engineering from University of Johannesburg will promote and develop the capability to perform independent research, investigate IC nanophenomena from scientific principles and implement outcomes to improve microelectronic designs.

The qualified student will be able to:

• Identify, assess, formulate, interpret, analyse, and solve research and development problems creatively and innovatively by applying relevant inter-disciplinary knowledge in the chosen field of research.
• Plan and manage research projects demonstrating fundamental knowledge, understanding and insight into the principles, methodologies and concepts that constitute socially responsible (to local and other communities) research/development in the chosen field of research practice.
• Work effectively, individually or with others, as a member of a team, group, organisation and the community or in multi-disciplinary environments in the chosen field of interdisciplinary research.
• Organise and manage him/herself and his/her activities responsibly, effectively and ethically, accept responsibility within his/her limits of competence, and exercise judgement based on knowledge and expertise, pertaining to the field of research.
• Plan and conduct applicable levels of investigation, research and/or experiments by applying appropriate theories and methodologies and perform appropriate data analysis and interpretation.
