Changing the World with Chips

How to Start Your Journey Towards a Purdue Semiconductor Credential

Purdue has developed two opportunities for students interested to learn more about the microelectronics industry and pursue a semiconductor concentration, minor, or certificate.

The Changing the World with Chips - Introduction to Semiconductors is an interactive, seminar based, one-credit hour course to introduce semiconductor technology, its role in our life, impact, and career opportunities to science and engineering students.

Every week there will be one fifty-minutes session where industry representatives will discuss relevant semiconductor products, company profiles, career prospects, and answer questions from students. The course is open to students from the College of Engineering, School of Engineering Technology, Computer Science, Physics and Math.
