This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), will support the development of a multi-pronged approach to prepare faculty at community colleges and provide them with curricula to teach microprocessor manufacturing. The $2,495,000 award to Columbus State Community College, with an award date of September 1, 2024 and a planned completion date of August 31, 2028, aims to address the shortage of qualified faculty to teach engineering technologies in Ohio by creating a faculty hub to recruit, credential, diversify, and upskill instructors in related disciplines. The project will also provide these instructors with the curriculum needed to successfully expand the semiconductor workforce, working through public-private partnerships between educational institutions and industry partners. The model will be designed, piloted, and then replicated at community colleges in central Ohio, with the goal of scaling it nationally.
