Online Electronic Parts Engineering

The Next Generation of Electronics Part Engineers

In an era where electronic components are integral to every facet of modern life, the global electronics market is poised for a remarkable 133% growth between 2023 and 2032. This surge in consumer demand underscores the strategic importance of the electronics industry, prompting a worldwide commitment to sustain, develop, or rejuvenate local capabilities. Included in this is a demand for safe, reliable, and trustworthy electronics, especially for harsh environments with varying temperature, humidity, and radiation conditions. However, this ambitious growth trajectory faces a critical challenge: an aging workforce and a shortage of skilled specialists to replace them.

The partnership between UCF College of Engineering and Computer Science and the NASA Electronics Parts and Packaging (NEPP) program addresses this need, and UCF will be the first partner university for Space and defense electronics applications, meeting the needs of graduates and industrial partners. UCF’s fully online electronics parts graduate certificate is one of three programs nation-wide that uses this NASA-curated curriculum aimed at training this new generation of specialists. The program tackles key challenges in microchip design, manufacturing, testing, and application. It addresses disruptions in the manufacturing chain and responds to the need for a skilled electronics workforce and parts evaluation engineers.
