Re-taping of Business Indystry Leadership Team (BILT) Session 1

Indian Hills Community College 525 Grandview Ave, Ottumwa, IA, United States

The Business & Industry Leadership Team Model (BILT) is an employer high-engagement model for college programs, projects, and grants that originated with the NSF National Convergence Technology Center (DUE 1700530) in the early 2000s. The model is widely used to deepen employer involvement in educational programs producing such benefits as curriculum better-aligned to meet employer […]

The Power to Change the World

Online

There are 103 Historically Black College and Universities (HBCUs) in the United Stated. HBCU’s have existed for for over 200 years and deliver over 27% of the STEM graduates while educating only 10% of the African Americans in higher education in the US. This is an exciting opportunity to leverage the expertise, innovation, entrepreneurialism and […]

Like Driving a Car: Acquiring Quality SEM/FESEM Images in Different Situations

Online

Getting good SEM/FESEM images is dependent on both the sample conditions (conductivity, bulk vs. thin film, etc) and the instrument’s imaging parameters (e.g., beam voltage, beam current, working distance, detector, etc). Over the course of training and interacting with hundreds of different FESEM users Dr. Liu has observed the most important things a new user […]

The CHIPS Act Has Passed: Now What?

Online

Funding for the CHIPS Act has been signed into law, providing tremendous opportunities for semiconductor industry organizations to expand production in the U.S. Although additional guidance from the Departments of Defense and Commerce is required around the specific application form and process, it’s critical for organizations to understand the programs, if their organization qualifies, and […]
