UIUC’s ECE MS sits at the nexus of Bell Labs heritage and quantum-era disruption. Students fabricate 2 nm transistors in the MNTL cleanroom, design millimeter-wave phased arrays for 6G, and model power-electronics converters for grid-forming inverters. Thesis routes feed the PhD pipeline, while the professional master’s accelerates entry to Apple, SpaceX, and national labs addressing semiconductor and energy security.
