#3Reading this all I could think was that it’s an excellent idea, and that the government should be tripping over itself to give this program scholarships.
> The university has existing collaborations with the U.S. Department of Defense’s SCALE (Scalable Asymmetric Lifecycle Engagement) program, the American Semiconductor Academy, and other CHIPS Act workforce consortia

#4As someone working full-time in Canada, wish I could roll back my life 10+ years and get into one of the semiconductor schools. Good luck to all who are admitted into this program, looks very interesting.

#5What other industries and critical supply chain components do we need to do this for?
Anything at this scale?

Software engineering, statistics (to train data scientists), plane pilots.

Semi-relates: Why don't universities offer online undergraduate programs? It's frustrating. I enrolled myself back to finish my bachelor's degree and my school offers very few or no online options for the classes I need.

Online programs may not be accredited by national credentialing bodies. Many STEM degrees require lab courses that can't be performed online. And non-STEM programs are based around the seminar (classroom discussion) model, where on-site attendance is always superior to a Zoom meeting.
Forcing students to live on-premises also makes universities money through student housing and amenities. Universities have concerns that opening their programs to online instruction would lead to an exodus from the campus. You could have 70% of a 20,000 strong student body attend online, and all the expensive real estate of the campus would mostly be a waste of money.
