SMART USA Institute

SMART USA (Semiconductor Manufacturing and Advanced Research with Twins), a Manufacturing USA® institute, advances America's semiconductor manufacturing through digital twin technology. Through CHIPS-Act funding and NIST sponsorship, it unites industry, academia, and laboratories across 30+ states to create virtual manufacturing replicas that reduce costs, cut development time, and improve yields.

 

Operated by the SRC Manufacturing Consortium Corporation, SMART USA operates through seven regional innovation hubs across the country while building a national digital platform for model interoperability and secure knowledge sharing. Through workforce initiatives, the institute aims to train the next generation of semiconductor workers over five years, strengthening America's economic and national security in this critical industry.

Undergraduate Research Program

 

Undergraduate Research Program (URP) is an academic year-long program which encourages participation from student candidates that are U.S. citizens and diverse in gender and background. The program combines a structured undergraduate research experience with industry mentorship. The program design increases retention of students interested in majors relevant to the semiconductor industry. When these students graduate, they are better prepared for a full-time opportunity or to progress on to graduate school. Undergraduate Research Program creates opportunities for URP members to network with and mentor URP students. Of particular emphasis is the annual recruiting event, hosted by SRC, to match member company job opportunities with URP students.
