Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Three major Dayton-area institutions of higher learning — the University of Dayton, Wright State University and Sinclair Community College ― all announced plans this week to help strengthen U.S. production of semiconductors.
One of those universities, Wright State, has started an internal committee to take advantage of the opportunities created by Intel’s plans to build dual semiconductor fabrication plants in Ohio.
All three said they would join the Midwest Regional Network to Address National Needs in Semiconductor and Microelectronics. The network is meant to support the onshoring of the semiconductor and microelectronics industry.
Does the network mean new university classes, majors, funding and disciplines?
Through a Wright State University spokesman, Wright State Vice Provost for Research and Innovation Madhavi Kadakia said “Yes” to all.
