STARS taught Raygan Bingham that the semiconductor industry needs mechanical engineers, too

As a Purdue Mechanical Engineering student, Raygan Bingham didn’t realize her skillset could be useful within the #semiconductor industry. But after participating in #Purdue’s STARS program this summer, she understands the opportunities available to students from many different engineering disciplines. 

Raygan and her fellow students in the STARS manufacturing track benefited from a unique opportunity to work in a high-tech semiconductor cleanroom, learning how to manufacture chips in a low-pressure environment where it was OK to make mistakes. 

This learning opportunity better prepared them to apply for internships within the industry — potentially with one of the 11 industry partners that sponsored the STARS program.
