When
Where
All U of A faculty working and teaching in fields related to the semiconductor sector (broadly defined, to include design, materials, tools, manufacturing, distribution, global markets, and supply chain management) are invited to register for and attend this half-day workshop. Lunch will be provided.
The Office of Societal Impact under RII, in collaboration with the UA SURE program (Semiconductor Undergraduate Research Experiences - a joint effort of the Center for Semiconductor Manufacturing and the Office of Undergraduate Research and Scholar Development), is pleased to announce a workshop to support faculty interested in developing a semiconductor-sector (broadly defined) course-based undergraduate research experience, or S-CURE.
This half-day workshop (plus asynchronous video component) supports the development of CUREs as an approach to broadening access to undergraduate research, particularly for first- and second-year students. A funding opportunity (up to $7500 per applicant) to implement an S-CURE is available by application post-workshop.
We have taken the key elements of a 3-day CURE workshop and developed this new and streamlined S-CURE opportunity. NOTE: Prior to the workshop, participants are expected to watch the provided presentations by Dr. Sara Brownell from previous CURE Training Institutes (4 videos; total of 139 minutes). During the workshop, participants will collaboratively work on S-CURE plans, pedagogical and research goals, and assessment methods.
