    "description": "<p>There is a global need for electronics that are safe, reliable, and trustworthy, especially for harsh environments under wide range of temperature, humidity, and radiation conditions. The design, manufacturing, testing, and use of these microchips is challenged by a number of factors, including disruptions of the manufacturing chain as well as an urgent need for a rapid increase in the skilled electronics workforce, as well as parts evaluation engineers. The proposed partnership between UCF CECS and the NASA Electronics Parts and Packaging (NEPP) program will address this need, and UCF will be the first partner university for Space and defense electronics applications, meeting the needs of our graduates and of our industrial partners.</p><p>The NEPP is promoting the development of a NASA Parts Engineering Program alongside university partners through NASA center-wide collaborations between NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), Langley Research Center (LaRC), and Kennedy Space Center (KSC). The program aims to address the knowledge gap in the current electronic parts engineering workforce and will lead to increases in the number of trained professionals in the workforce, including the cultivation of the next generation of Parts Engineers.</p><p>Students in this program will gain foundational knowledge in engineering assessment, reliability-related performance for all Electrical Electronic Electromechanical (EEE) parts. Their training will equip them to support projects through informed part selection that maximizes reliability across the project life cycle while balancing schedule and cost constraints. They will develop strong competencies in overseeing part procurement and collaborating with parts manufacturers to ensure compliance with engineering requirements.</p><p>Additionally, students will learn how to establish comprehensive testing plans for EEE parts, including screening and qualification test campaigns and any screening and qualification campaigns, failure analysis, and the evaluation of test results to determine suitability for space flight usage. Students will also be able to assess the capabilities of emerging EEE technologies and suppliers for spaceflight use. These skills will benefit not only NASA, but also the rapidly expending commercial space sector and other critical infrastructure sectors that rely on microelectronic devices and integrated circuits operating in harsh environments.</p><p><b>Please note: </b>Electronic Parts Engineering Graduate Certificate may be completed fully online, although not all elective options or program prerequisites may be offered online. Newly admitted students choosing to complete this program exclusively via UCF online classes may enroll with a reduction in campus-based fees.<br/>International students (F or J visa) are required to enroll in a full-time course load of 9 credit hours during the fall and spring semesters. Only 3 of the 9 credit hours may be taken in a completely online format. For a detailed listing of enrollment requirements for international students, please visit <a href=\"http://global.ucf.edu/\">UCF Global</a>. If you have questions, please consult UCF Global at 407-823-2337. UCF is not authorized to provide online courses or instruction to students in some states. Refer to State Restrictions for current information.</p>",
