ABOUT SEMI
WHAT IS SEMI
SEMI is an international Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) program in Semiconductor Engineering, offered by the Department of Electrical Engineering (CUEE) in collaboration with the International School of Engineering (ISE), Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University. The curriculum is designed for high school graduates and requires four years of full-time study. This program aims to cultivate a new generation of engineers equipped with the skills and knowledge to drive the future of semiconductor technologies.
Why SEMI
The SEMI program prepares students to enter the workforce in one of the most important industries of the 21st century, an era where data, AI, and cloud services are rapidly transforming the world, and where semiconductors serve as the essential material backbones of these innovations.

Uniqueness of SEMI
The SEMI program aims to produce global-talented semiconductor engineers who comprehend the unique global supply chain of the semiconductor industry, with insights into state-of-the-art IC design and fabrication. The program provides a student with unique opportunities to gain practical learning experience in semiconductor design and manufacturing, through an internship with leading industries in Thailand and abroad. Students could then apply their knowledge to unique applications of IC or chips for the fast-growing AI and EV industries in their own way, hopefully, in their future careers.
Who should apply for SEMI
The SEMI program is suitable for those who are interested and want to play an active/leadership role in advancing one or more of the various aspects of semiconductor technology, from designing advanced semiconductor devices, circuits, and systems, to fabricating, testing, prototyping, employing, and optimizing them for 21st-century applications that include edge computing, cloud-based applications, electric vehicles (EV), and generative AI.
