DFW Semiconductor Executive Council

Advanced Summer Institute for Educators

 

Organized by Dallas Semiconductor Executive Council

Greater Dallas Chamber

 

 

 

 

University of Texas at Arlington

 

This program was created for DFW high school teachers and administrators to enhance their knowledge in science and engineering. UTA professors and graduate students presented their advanced research works and demonstrated their experiments for hands-on experience. We aim to reduce the gap between high schools and university as well as provide teachers information to inspire their students. We also invited researchers, scholars, engineers and entrepreneurs in the DFW area to share their career experience and advise to students.
