Two years ago, the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act bill was signed into law. At stake was recapturing many technologies related to microelectronics, environmental sustainability, and bolstering a vibrant domestic manufacturing workforce. Areas vital to our national security are now empowered for countries that may be vulnerable to adversarial impact. And with it, the possibility of creating supply chain disruptions to devices that are critical to our daily life. The bill contains $54B set aside termed the “CHIPS Act”, under control of the Dept of Commerce, with a specific focus on microelectronics design, manufacturing, and packaging. Press releases over the 12 months have sounded off on new domestic investment in semiconductor fabs. At least 7 in all, each costing billions of dollars. The Bill is now focused on some $11B of R&D investments and leading universities have teamed with smaller community colleges and technical schools to create a network of collaboration. Academic institutions are key in R&D, small business start-ups, and education workforce development. GA Tech is amongst the leaders in bolstering the semiconductor and skilled technical workforces and promoting the inclusion of economically disadvantaged individuals and small businesses. Much of the focus is to create “ecosystems” that provide a complete pathways from concept to realization all within the US boundaries. Systems Engineering is becoming more and more relevant as the complexity of microelectronic devices are advancing from single processing chips to cyber physical systems on a chip, creating new opportunities for all of us. From AI/ML at the edge to quantum computing to 5G/6G applications, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Participate and learn more. In Person and Online!
