The Potomac Institute of Policy Studies commences its newest virtual executive course Microelectronics, Foundation and Futures. The course will be held from October 25 to October 28, 2021. The curriculum explores microelectronics’ role in society, the marketplace, the military and the future.
The new course is policy-oriented and is designed for industry, government and academic professionals interested in identifying and addressing the challenges the US faces in the microelectronics industrial arena. Potomac Institute said, “We invite early- to mid-career professionals to learn about the mature microelectronics industry, its impact on the US economy, and its relevance to national defense.”
The virtual course runs through the history of microelectronics, details the current state of practice, and inspects the technology’s importance to the US economy and national security. It will touch through the various topics the industry faces, right from semiconductor shortage and malign microchip actors to overseas dependencies, and will keep an eye on the salient obstacles of this burgeoning industry.
“We are really looking forward to this course. By holding Microelectronics: Foundations and Futures, the Potomac Institute is supporting its mission educating professionals on national security and the science policy needed to protect it,” said General Al Gray, Chairman of the Board of the Potomac Institute.
