Generating interest in semiconductor careers is crucial; without it, individuals may be less likely to pursue and fill these essential roles. Degree holders will be pivotal to these efforts, so workforce development initiatives must prioritize attracting college students to the industry. Given the high costs of hands-on semiconductor manufacturing experiences available to students, researchers must find more affordable experiential learning options. Augmented reality presents a promising solution by offering college students a more accessible learning experience, which can increase their interest in semiconductor manufacturing careers.
