Build innovative smart devices or robotics solutions.
The UW MSTI provides students with the technical expertise, design thinking skills, and project-team experience to succeed in large tech companies, high-growth start-ups, or their own ventures.
Working alongside industry professionals from partner companies and sponsors, students combine design thinking, hardware/software development, and entrepreneurship, preparing them for successful careers in the technology innovation sector.
Industry Sponsored Projects, Real-World Technology Solutions
Students dedicate the final six months of the program to a problem or challenge proposed by a GIX Consortium member, non-profit partner, or project sponsor.
Dedicated prototyping labs space
The state-of-the-art GIX Prototyping Labs are integral to the MSTI student experience, as Labs staff and faculty help students complete a design and development cycle of their technology solution, going from concept to prototype, and iterating and improving their device with real user testing and research.
Over 90% of graduates find jobs within six months.
