Engineering workshops pull back the curtain on the mysteries of modern technologies for teachers and students
Microelectronics are the building blocks of most modern technologies, from nanobots to supercomputers. But for many people, the science and mechanics of microchips are a mystery.
The University of Delaware's Center for Cybersecurity, Assurance and Technology (CCAP) in the College of Engineering pulled back the curtain on the magic of microelectronics through a series of workshops and events over the past year to develop a pipeline of skilled workers and a better-informed public.
Funded by the federal CHIPS and Science Act, these community science programs were aimed at high school students, families and - critically - teachers.
