Education & Workforce Development

COSMIAC recognizes that the ability of the space community to embrace and implement new microsystem-based solutions depends heavily on a skilled and creative workforce prepared with the right technical skills, experience, and insights. COSMIAC strongly believes that providing diverse and quality preparation opportunities is critical to producing the high quality engineers and technicians needed to sustain long term growth of the FPGA and related fields.

COSMIAC provides the following education and workforce development programs that address all need levels from the industrial edge to secondary education:

Technical and engineering workforce development program in which COSMIAC meets the emerging needs of space microsystem professionals through the development and instruction of special courses and tutorials available online, at COSMIAC facilities, at COSMIAC partner facilities, or during COSMIAC's annual ReSpace Conference
University programming in which COSMIAC staff and professional educators prepare and package curricula emphasizing contemporary logic design tools, platforms, and skills;
Community college level support in the form of staff tutorials, workshops, and curricula development;
FPGA Learning Lab program in which the specific needs of colleges, universities and other R&D centers are met through the custom design, delivery, and installation of comprehensive, self-contained, workstation-based 'FPGA Learning Laboratories'; and
K-12 educational programming that is designed to increase interest in math and science and to expose students to advanced science and math concepts during in-school and after-school programming during the school year.
