A multinational Master’s degree program in electronic system engineering

– This paper describes the effort of creating an international joint master program in the area of electronic system engineering (ESE) focused on the needs of the electronic industry. Three universities in the U.S., Germany and Malaysia have designed an accredited executive master program in collaboration with multinational companies operating in the electronic and semiconductor industries to push forward a lifelong learning process as well as training the academic teachers. It is intended to recruit potential students with work experience and a need to reach a higher educational level to the program. As a first step, a curriculum is implemented with Texas Tech University (TTU), U.S., and the University of Applied Sciences Landshut (UAS La), Germany, which serves as program manager. In a second step Universiti Teknikal Melaka (UTeM), Malaysia is going to join the program.
