Student Testimonials

“This degree will help my company and myself navigate that market more effectively, understanding our customers’ end goals and therefore better understanding their needs and how we can help meet them.” 

— Wyatt DuVall, Functional Architect at ASML and current Master of Science in Microelectronics and Semiconductors student

“I worked with this person at a startup that built open-source software for chip design, and I decided to reach out and ask him what he thought of doing a semiconductor program at Purdue. He said Purdue’s engineering programs were really well-known and that I should go for it. That was the encouragement I needed.”
