Assured Digital Microelectronics, Certificate

Certificate in Assured Digital Microelectronics (445006C)

A growing need in the manufacture of microelectronics system is designs that are trusted, assured and protected. This three-course certificate will provide students with a foundation in hardware security. Students will learn about the design, development, and assessment of assuredness and trustworthiness of digital microelectronic devices. This includes understanding adversarial attack mechanisms on hardware and system vulnerabilities and appropriate countermeasures.

This certificate program is open to both degree-seeking students and non-degree seeking students. 

The courses in this certificate have prerequisites in mathematics and physics.  Students not in electrical engineering, computer engineering, biomedical engineering, or electrical and electronic engineering technology should speak with their academic advisor about whether additional prerequisites are required.  The prerequisite courses must be completed before taking the certificate courses.
