Program Description
Program organized by Cristina Farmus, VP Special Projects and Assistant Dean of Global Engineering, George Chiu.
Purdue University is a leader in semiconductor education. We are augmenting existing coursework and talent development programs with a pioneering course for semiconductors in Japan. The location was chosen based on the partnership Purdue signed with 5 Japanese Universities as part of the UPWARDS program. Purdue President Mung Chiang signed a landmark international agreement, partnering with Micron, Tokyo Electron, and other educational institutions in the United States and Japan to establish the “UPWARDS Network” for workforce advancement and research and development in semiconductors. The universities and companies we plan to visit are part of the UPWARDS Network and will provide excellent semiconductor content and visits for our students to help them learn more about this industry and technical advancements.
Students will be traveling across Japan visiting university and industry partners.
