One-Day Short Course Program for Engineering Students and Working Professionals in Silicon Valley

Interested in developing a new expertise area while earning a program attendance certificate?

These 1-day short-courses on cutting-edge technology topics is offered by Santa Clara University's School of Engineering and taught by leading industry experts. The 2009-2010 programs enable the working professionals in the Silicon Valley and SCU engineering students to gain a good understanding of the specific technology area and its latest developments as well as networking with the speaker and other industry professionals.

The 2009-2010 Emerging Topics Program kicks off in late September with a 5-part Smart Grid & Solar Series offered in a 2-month span by leading industry experts. Attendees of these series will receive an excellent overview of the latest developments, trends and opportunities available in today's hottest job-creation sector. Offerings in 2010 include a Sustainability in Information Technology Program and a 5-part CMOS Designs Series.

Whether you choose to participate in an entire series of courses, or opt to attend just one or two full-day sessions, our Emerging Topics Program gives you the opportunity to tailor your education to your own particular need, with a minimum investment of time. We also offer a 50% discount to all SCU Engineering alums.

Current SCU engineering graduate students who wish to take Emerging Topics Programs for credit (2 units) must register through eCampus with the course number ENGR 400 and course name “Emerging Topics in Engineering”.
