Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Electronic Packaging
About This Program
The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Electronic Packaging provides graduate-level knowledge in the field of electronic packaging, with a concentration on numerical and experimental characterization of thermo/mechanical issues. Courses are taught by faculty of the departments of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering, plus other UT Arlington faculty and adjunct faculty as needed. Technical material covered in the classroom will be complemented by a number of seminars by industry leaders in the packaging field. Completion of the certificate program will provide a head start for UT Arlington students when joining industry and skills-enhancement opportunities for current industry employees.
There are two enrollment options: as a student pursuing a graduate degree or as a non-degree-seeking special student. The special student avenue is tailored for individuals currently employed in an electronics-related industry.
Competencies
- Upon completion, students will be able to analyze and characterize thermo/mechanical response of electronic packages using numerical and experimental methods.
- Upon completion, students will be able to apply principles of mechanical and materials engineering to design and develop advanced electronic packages.
Admissions Criteria
Applicants on a degree track must be admitted to the master’s degree.
Non-degree students must have a BS degree and a minimum GPA of 2.5. Special students who decide that they want to pursue a graduate degree after starting as a special student may transfer up to 12 credit hours of graduate level courses to the graduate program.
