Comprehensive Semiconductors and Microelectronics Program
U.S. Pours Money Into Chips, but Even Soaring Spending Has Limits
"Purdue University, which built a new semiconductor laboratory, has set a goal of graduating 1,000 engineers each year..."
The New York Times
"Every aspect of human existence is becoming digital, and everything digital runs on semiconductors. Increasing access to semiconductor and microelectronics education is essential for building a talented, diverse pipeline of future technologists. Intel plans to invest $100 million over the next decade to build a skilled semiconductor workforce in collaboration with universities, community colleges, and the NSF. I'm excited about Purdue's educational credentials focused on semiconductors and microelectronics, including the new interdisciplinary master's degree. With these timely and high-impact initiatives, Purdue is leading the way in bridging the skills gap and addressing the shortage of skilled human talent in the semiconductor industry."
