How the ASU Polytechnic campus will fuel the PHX East Valley economy

 ASU’s new Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Building on the university’s Polytechnic campus is generating expectations as a driver of substantial growth in the area’s economy. That anticipation revolves around the School of Manufacturing Systems and Networks, the newest of the eight Fulton Schools. With a combination of traditional academic instruction and hands-on training, the school is gearing up to provide next-generation engineers to supply the workforce for tech-based industry ventures expected to open or expand operations in the East Valley area. Professor Binil Starly, the school’s director, foresees a jump from about 250 current students to between 3,000 and 4,000 in the future.
