Please check back in August 2025 for information about a Fall Semiconductor Manufacturing Fast Track. Registration for the Fall 2025 Session will begin in mid-August and will be on Handshake.
Semiconductor Manufacturing Fast Track is a free, 4 to 6-week co-curricular program that brings students together to learn more about future careers in semiconductor manufacturing. Students will learn more about semiconductor manufacturing during asynchronous learning modules and will then complete a team project that showcases their learning. Final team projects will be presented to industry partners. Students will learn more about this emerging field from experts in this field. Students will also learn more out about upcoming internship or entry-level jobs in this field. Students will have the opportunity to share their completed team project with industry sponsors for feedback and can also share their resume with employers at the end of the program.
