At the University of Idaho, we believe the best way to learn is by doing. Our engineering students don’t just study semiconductors in a textbook—they step into the clean room, design solar cells, and collaborate with industry leaders like Micron.
Through the Next Generation Microelectronics Research Center, U of I undergrads gain real hands-on experience that builds skills, confidence, and clear pathways into the growing semiconductor workforce. From building and testing solar cells to interning at Micron, students graduate ready to make an impact.
