SemiAcademy micro-credentials
Learn semiconductors online, at your own pace
Choose one or more micro-credentials and register in a few minutes. Each one ends with a digital badge you can share.
-
Semiconductors in 90 Minutes
A short, plain-language briefing on what semiconductors are, how chips are made, how big the industry is and why it matters to your organization.
-
AI for Semiconductors
Machine learning applied to semiconductor data, with hands-on Python labs that run in the browser and a capstone project.
-
Semiconductor Basics for Future Fab Technicians
The core ideas behind semiconductors and chip manufacturing, written for people starting out toward work in a fab.
-
Semiconductor Processing
Ten modules on the main steps of turning a silicon wafer into working devices.
-
Semiconductor Strategy for Leaders (Industry, Policy and Workforce)
How history, economics, geopolitics and public money shape semiconductor decisions. Four modules and a capstone decision case, all scored automatically in Canvas.
-
Quantum Computing Foundations
The first of three quantum computing micro-credentials. Qubits, gates and entanglement in Python with Qiskit-compatible circuits, with labs that run in your browser and an optional run on a real IBM quantum computer.
-
Quantum Computing Intermediate
The second of three quantum computing micro-credentials. Teleportation, the quantum Fourier transform, Grover's and Shor's algorithms, preparing circuits for real IBM hardware, and VQE and QAOA, ending with your own experiment on a noisy quantum computer. Labs run in your browser or in Colab; a run on a real IBM quantum computer is optional.
-
Quantum Computing Advanced
The third of three quantum computing micro-credentials. Noise and density matrices, a repetition code with mid-circuit measurement and correction, error suppression and mitigation, one application track (a quantum-kernel classifier or a simulated spin chain), and a comparison of today's qubit platforms, including silicon spin qubits, ending with your own capstone experiment on a noisy simulator. Labs run in your browser; a run on a real IBM quantum computer is optional.
