Once a fledgling research school, ASU soon will hit $1 billion in annual research funding, placing the university into a rare category reached by just 33 universities across the nation.

For the past decade, ASU has been climbing in the ranks as one of fastest-growing research universities in the world. One key measuring stick is the National Science Foundation’s Higher Education Research and Development annual survey, the latest of which shows ASU's research expenditures at nearly $904 million.

As the global demand for semiconductors accelerates — with projections reaching $1 trillion by 2030 — Arizona State University, in partnership with the U.S. Department of State, hosted the Government Leaders Forum to address challenges and opportunities in building resilient semiconductor supply chains.

The project will drive innovation in the domestic microchip packaging ecosystem and help regain U.S. leadership in microelectronics while strengthening national security.

Students in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at ASU conduct use-inspired research to address real-world challenges.

A Fulton Schools consortium of six laboratories has led to a successful startup that puts graduates to work in tough roles.
