Technology Career Paths

Registration is still open (six seats left) for a specialty course that was developed as a consequence of the Technology Career Paths Hudson Valley consortium. Please take note as this course was developed for you and your support is needed.

This course is currently featured in our news section with pictures of the lab experience at the fabulous research facility at SUNY Albany. A course description can be found at 2yearcolleges (bottom of page). It will run on Wednesday evenings, 5:30-9:30pm, at the DCC South campus in Wappingers Falls. The class begins on August 28 and ends on December 11. Please talk this course up among your students and employees if they are at all involved in the semiconductor manufacturing business! Prerequisites are Electronics I, Chemistry, and Physics (or permission of instructor).

I recognize that business is slow, but that makes for a perfect time to send an employee to further develop their skills! The students coming out of this course have indicated in course evaluations that they understand so much more about the process of making chips even for those who work in the field. A number of electrical engineers have taken the course since the kind of details about the manufacturing process discussed in this course are not typically addressed in engineering courses.

Registration can be completed online by going to www.sunydutchess.edu. Please let me know if you have any questions!
