Driven by commercial demand for a bigger talent pipeline and new ways to educate prospective workers, ASU leadership and faculty have worked with industry to design a portfolio that provides technical skills critical for microelectronics professionals.
Introduction to semiconductor packaging.Each specialization can be completed through 35 to 40 hours of interactive instruction and assessment led by senior university engineering faculty as well as industry experts. Learners who do so gain greater opportunities for employment and access to further education.
Available this month, the first two specializations in the portfolio teach materials science for technological applications. Content focuses on key concepts in atom bonding, crystal structure, diffusion and phase diagrams as well as metals, polymers, ceramics and composites. Instruction occurs through short video courses that include sessions for learner practice and assessments with feedback.
“With recent public and private investments to catalyze the semiconductor industry, manufacturers need a skilled workforce to support growth,” said Meredyth Hendricks, head of ASU CareerCatalyst. “ASU is actively working with leading semiconductor companies to identify their current and future talent needs and build career education programs that prepare the semiconductor workforce with critical job skills.
