The future of microelectronics is bright — begin at ASU
Together we aim to upskill today’s, train tomorrow’s, and inspire the future microelectronics workforce.
The U.S. semiconductor industry is growing fast — are you ready to grow with it?
Experts project a 33% increase in microelectronics jobs by 2030, growing from approximately 345,000 today to over 460,000.
However, without training more professionals, the industry may leave up to 67,000 critical roles—particularly for technicians and engineers—unfilled.
The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at ASU is preparing the next generation of microelectronics professionals. Here’s how you can get started:
Get your microelectronics education at the Fulton Schools
Choose from undergraduate and graduate degree programs, and a wide array of technical electives focused on semiconductor manufacturing, materials science, electrical engineering and other microelectronics-rich disciplines, all aligned with current industry demands.
