Semiconductor Fabrication and Characterization
In this project, selected OUR scholars will engage in authentic and extended research and design projects related to active research areas of Purdue faculty members and national, international, and industry-sponsored real-world design challenges in the area of semiconductor fabrication and characterization. Students will work on interdisciplinary and vertically-integrated teams (first-year through seniors) with faculty and graduate student mentors. To complement their technical skill development, OUR scholars will participate in weekly lectures and professional development activities that include topics related to design, research, documentation and technical writing, communication, leadership and teamwork, ethics, project management, intellectual property, information literacy, and introduction to a broad range of applicable research topics, technologies and development tools.
