This week, students in the Indiana Uplands Microelectronics Academy had the opportunity to learn directly from Collin Roach an engineer at Artisan Electronics, Inc., and the experience has been outstanding!

From design fundamentals to KiCAD workflows and real-world practices, Collin brought authentic industry expertise that transformed the classroom. Students weren’t just learning software — they were learning how professionals think, troubleshoot, and design in the real world.

We are incredibly grateful to our partners for continuing to invest in the next generation of talent through authentic learning experiences and meaningful collaboration with our students.

When industry leaders step into the classroom, students begin to see themselves in the future of the field.
