ECE UG Velma Ayona - EDGE Scholar

Two Hajim School students recently visited Micron Technology’s state-of-the-art semiconductor fabrication facility in Boise, Idaho, last week as part of the new EDGE Scholars program. On February 26, Velma Ayona ’24 (electrical and computer engineering) and Atlas Kiewel ’27 (optics) toured Micron’s manufacturing facility, the only one for DRAM semiconductor memory chips in North America.

Rochester is a founding member of the new Education Group for Diversification and Growth in Engineering (EDGE) Consortium, an alliance of schools and industry/government partners that seeks to transform the semiconductor industry, and education pipelines, to meet national demand. Students interested in becoming an EDGE Scholar can sign up.
