Boise State Course Updates

Expanding Semiconductor Awareness

A core mission of MERC and Semiconductor for All is to expand awareness of the semiconductor industry by strengthening both new and existing curricula. Since the launch of the center and grant, several Boise State courses have been updated to include semiconductor content. Not only is this content important and applicable within the field of engineering, but also in business, chemistry, and even political science.
