NSF grant funds engineering research

The Center for Electronics Manufacturing and Assembly and the Semiconductor & Microsystems Fabrication Laboratory are sharing a $406,395 grant from the National Science Foundation for optoelectronics-packaging and microsystems.

RIT’s College of Applied Science and Technology and Kate Gleason College of Engineering split the award from NSF’s Major Research Instrumentation program.

The grant helps RIT create the Centralized Laboratory for Imaging and Metrology for undergraduate courses, senior design projects and optoelectronics-packaging research.
