We are presidents and deans of the nation’s leading research universities and schools of engineering, working collaboratively to transform semiconductor-related education to be more open to and aligned with industry workforce needs. The EDGE Consortium recognizes that the goals of the CHIPS and Science Act – to boost US competitiveness, innovation, and national security in the global semiconductor landscape – won’t be achieved unless we grow the engineering workforce significantly and soon, so we are committed to doubling the engineering workforce for semiconductor-related careers by the end of the decade.
