| The skills learned in this program are used in chip manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, micro-electromechanical systems, sensors, biomedicine, opto-electronics, and cutting-edge computer displays. Students gain those hands-on skills in the laboratory at HACC and the Pennsylvania State University. The Nanofabrication Manufacturing Technology program uses a resource-sharing approach to high-tech workforce development. After successfully completing three semesters of background work with a minimum 3.0 GPA and a letter of recommendation from a HACC electronics faculty, students go to the PSU Electronic Materials and Processing Research Laboratory (EMPRL), located in State College, Pa. The complete three semesters are available only at the Harrisburg Campus; several courses are available at the Lancaster and Lebanon Campuses. |
