Kettering University, located in Flint, Michigan, has been awarded over $1.6 million in funding from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) to develop cutting-edge curricula in semiconductors, hydrogen fuel, and software engineering. The grants aim to equip Michigan's future engineers and innovators with the skills necessary for industries that will shape the state's economy for years to come. Dr. Robert K. McMahan, President of Kettering University, highlighted the importance of these grants in accelerating the university's ability to prepare the workforce and enhance students' experiences. The MEDC grants include support for semiconductor curriculum development, hydrogen fuel curriculum, software engineering curriculum, and PK-12 engagement programs. Additionally, Kettering University has received funding for The Michigander Scholars Program to provide scholarships and incentives for students completing Co-ops in Michigan. These initiatives are part of a broader effort to strengthen Michigan's talent pipeline and drive economic growth in advanced manufacturing sectors. Kettering University is launching new programs in semiconductor engineering to address the shortage of skilled professionals in the industry. These programs offer an accelerated path for students to lead in the semiconductor revolution and fill the increasing demand for highly skilled semiconductor professionals. The university's focus on industry-driven education and hands-on experiences aims to prepare students for successful careers in high-demand fields, contributing to Michigan's position as a hub for advanced manufacturing and innovation.
