Samsung Electronics<\/a> is partnering with The University of Texas at Austin\u2019s Cockrell School of Engineering to help build the talent pipeline needed to support the growing semiconductor ecosystem<\/a> in Central Texas.<\/p>\n Announced as part of Semiconductor Day today at UT Austin<\/a>, the partnership includes funds for recruiting and supporting undergraduate and graduate students<\/a> to study semiconductor manufacturing in the Cockrell School of Engineering and other key majors in the semiconductor space across UT Austin, as well as research and development support and upgrades to lab facilities. The partnership will elevate UT Austin\u2019s semiconductor education, innovation and research and position Texas as a leader in the burgeoning U.S. semiconductor industry.<\/p>\n \u201cUT Austin\u2019s leadership in America\u2019s semiconductor industry and our role in Austin\u2019s emergence as an industry hub date back to the 1980s,\u201d said UT President Jay Hartzell. \u201cOur Legislature\u2019s bold investment in the CHIPS Act is positioning UT to design and build the future of semiconductors, and now our partnership with Samsung enables us to educate the workforce, fundamental to bolstering the U.S. supply chain. We could not be more excited to work with Samsung<\/a> to help achieve this important goal.\u201d<\/p>\n
