The EDGE Consortium: Expanding Dynamic Growth in Engineering

About Us

The EDGE Consortium

The EDGE Consortium is comprised of students and faculty, in partnership with industry and government, and is led by presidents and deans from some of the nation’s leading research universities and schools of engineering. The goals of the CHIPS and Science Act–to boost U.S. competitiveness, innovation, and national security in the global semiconductor landscape–won’t be achieved unless we grow the engineering workforce significantly and soon! To that end, EDGE is committed to doubling the engineering workforce for semiconductor-related careers by the end of the decade.

There's room for everybody in STEM.

The CHIPS and Science Act can only deliver on its promise to strengthen the U.S. semiconductor industry by significantly growing the engineering workforce. The EDGE Consortium knows that there’s room for everyone in STEM, and we commit to making sure the career pathways needed to get there are within reach, no matter where you’re starting from.
