The ASU MacroTechnology Works is enabling the university to bridge the gap between technology innovations created in research labs and practical real-life solutions. That makes the facility a good training ground for future workers in the growing semiconductor manufacturing industry. Many ASU students developing their research and engineering talents at Macrotechnology Works are primed to become promising candidates for jobs at two massive Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company fabricating centers in north Phoenix or benefit from the New Economy Initiative, which is bringing together Arizona’s three public universities, private companies and state government to pave the way to new frontiers in the high-tech industry.
