This $4,697,075 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports an alliance focused on developing multi-modal, immersive experiential learning programs at a leading-edge semiconductor fabrication facility. The Educational Alliance for Semiconductor Experiential Learning (EASEL) will engage community colleges, including Columbus State Community College, Onondaga Community College, LaGuardia Community College, and Madison Area Technical College, to integrate student and faculty immersive experiences at NY CREATES' 300mm wafer IC fab facility. Over the proposed 4-year project, up to 660 student learners and faculty participants are anticipated to receive over 43,000 hours of on-site experiential learning and 4,000 hours of faculty technical development, supporting the education of skilled technical workers for the U.S. semiconductor industry. The sub-awards to the community colleges focus on enhancing curriculum, equipment, and training to prepare students for the EASEL experiential learning opportunities and support the broader goals of the CHIPS Act to grow the domestic semiconductor workforce.
