The EDGE Consortium: Expanding Dynamic Growth in Engineering
As electronic devices become smaller and more complex, the demand for expertise across science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is increasing.
About Us
The EDGE Consortium
The EDGE Consortium is a unique opportunity for industry and academia to collaborate on training early-career professionals. We’re facilitating faculty and employer collaborations that will work across education and industry—by changing STEM pedagogy and creating learner-centric pathways for our emerging workforce.

“With my engineering background and a keen interest in space economics, my goal is to establish my own aerospace company grounded in sustainable space exploration…I am committed to advocating for under-resourced communities and ensuring they have the opportunities they deserve.”
“My vision is to help create a culture where every student, regardless of background, feels confident in their ability to succeed. It’s about building an ecosystem where students are supported and empowered to tackle challenges head-on, knowing they have the resources, mentorship, and community needed to thrive in these dynamic environments.”
