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
"Recent events have taught us all how critical chips are and how fragile supply chains can be, but a re-energized U.S. microelectronics landscape will require more than just building more fabs. As Moore's Law slows, new ways to advance the performance of electronics systems are needed, and this will require a new generation of bold and creative semiconductor engineers to pioneer equally as bold and creative semiconductor devices. I applaud Purdue in addressing this challenge with a comprehensive set of new semiconductor degrees and credentials that will help prepare a new generation of semiconductor engineers and address a critical need for Nantero and other companies."
