NC State`s new hybrid M.S. in Wide Bandgap Semiconductors is preparing engineers for one of the fastest-growing corners of the chip industry, with its first cohort starting this fall.
The program covers silicon carbide and gallium nitride materials that handle higher power and heat than traditional silicon, skills now in demand for electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and aerospace. Faculty and industry partners from companies like MACOM and Wolfspeed helped shape the curriculum around the roles employers are actually hiring for, from device design to power electronics.
It`s a clear example of NC State ECE building graduate programs directly around where the semiconductor industry is headed. ⚡

They`re building the future. Help us send them there. 🐺⚡
NC State ECE students are competing at the national level, piloting autonomous subs, leading honor societies and representing the Pack at conferences across the country.
We`re raising $3,000 by June 30 so financial hurdles never stand in the way of big opportunities. We`re just 6% of the way there and every gift counts.
$200 = one conference registration
$1,000 = makerspace materials for student projects
$3,000 = 15 students at a competition or conference

The technology powering electric vehicles, clean energy and aerospace was largely developed right here in North Carolina. NC State is where that work continues.
We`re launching the Master of Science in Wide Bandgap Semiconductors this fall, the first program of its kind, designed for engineers ready to lead in SiC, GaN and the systems they power.
Applications close June 25.

Neil Sood stood in front of the NC State ECE Class of 2026 and told the truth about what four years actually felt like.
Midnight hours in Hunt Library so sleep-deprived that normal sentences became hilarious. Four days chasing a breakthrough in the 306 lab. Moments of wondering whether he belonged in the major at all.
He framed all of it through three things Jimmy Valvano said everyone should do every day: laugh, think and let your emotions move you.
"In the end, that`s what NC State gave us more than any degree. The space to laugh, the time and obligation to learn and a community to lean on."
