Comprehensive Semiconductors and Microelectronics Program

Economic Future of U.S. Depends on Making Engineering Cool

"By rapidly expanding chip education, Purdue is aiming to graduate 1,000 semiconductor engineers annually as soon as possible. [...] Purdue is rolling out new courses and labs for UGs, a new master's program and a push to place students in chip internships..."

The Washington Post

"My Purdue University degree laid the foundation for what continues to be a rewarding career. At RTX, we believe Purdue's Semiconductor Degrees Program will provide students interested in joining the microelectronics workforce with the valuable skills and experiences they'll need to achieve their own career goals, while helping strengthen the U.S. economy and national security. Semiconductors are a critical component that enables ground-breaking technology across the aerospace and defense industries. After completion, I can envision program graduates joining the thousand-plus Purdue alums who are already helping RTX create a safer, more connected world."
