New ASU Southwest Advanced Prototyping Hub projects will be accelerating the capabilities of U.S. manufacturers to produce the logic chip technologies that process data enabling computing systems and other modern electronic devices and systems to perform effectively. ASU researchers, including Fulton Schools faculty, will have leading roles in five of the projects. Kyle Squires, dean of the Fulton Schools and CEO of the prototyping hub, says Fulton Schools students will be among talented future members of a growing workforce with the research and engineering skills that will help to make the nation’s investments in chip technology innovation pursuits successful and boost many industries, especially manufacturing, in the U.S., as well as strengthen the nation’s overall economy.
