Mitsubishi Electric Kicks Off Phase 2 of Semiconductor Program in India

Mitsubishi Electric has expanded its semiconductor lab program in India, adding three new institutions to the program. The program provides students with hands-on training in semiconductor technology, and helps to prepare them for careers in the semiconductor industry.

Mitsubishi Electric India has expanded its semiconductor skills development initiative, supporting technical education and sustainable development projects across the country. This CSR-driven program aligns with the Government of India initiatives and UN Sustainable Development Goals. The company aims to spread practical knowledge about semiconductor devices and their applications to benefit engineering students in leading institutions.

Mitsubishi Electric’s CSR-Driven Initiative 

Mitsubishi Electric India has been actively involved in community development, good health, climate action, and skills development through its CSR strategy. The semiconductor and devices lab program is a key component of their CSR efforts, focusing on advancing technical education and fostering sustainable technology development. By collaborating with renowned technical institutions, the company aims to empower the youth and equip them with essential skills to contribute to India’s technological progress.

Spreading Practical Knowledge on Semiconductors 

As a leading player in the semiconductor industry, Mitsubishi Electric India recognizes its responsibility to share practical knowledge about semiconductor devices. Through the semiconductor and devices lab project, the company offers support, educational materials, and advanced training methods to select technical institutions across India. By doing so, Mitsubishi Electric aims to enhance students’ understanding and application of modern semiconductor technology, enabling them to meet the evolving needs of the industry.

Expansion into Second Phase – Educational Kits and Equipment 

Building on the success of the initial phase, Mitsubishi Electric India has advanced into the second phase of the project. The company has prepared educational kits and equipment, including IGBT modules, SiC modules, IPMs, DIPIPMs, IGBT Gate Drivers, and Application notes, which have been provided to three leading technical institutions. The Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi, BMS College of Engineering in Bengaluru, and Institute of Technology, NIRMA University in Ahmedabad are the beneficiaries of this expansion. Approximately 700 students from these institutions have already benefited from the practical knowledge imparted through this CSR initiative.

Inauguration of Power Semiconductor Devices Setup 

The power semiconductor devices set-up at the labs of the three institutions was inaugurated by Hitesh Bhardwaj, General Manager of Mitsubishi Electric India’s Semiconductor and Devices division. This collaboration with impactful engineering and technology institutions demonstrates the company’s commitment to contributing to society through its products, solutions, and educational initiatives. By empowering students across the country, Mitsubishi Electric India aims to foster the development of indigenous and sustainable technology for India’s growth.

Conclusion 

Mitsubishi Electric India’s expansion of its semiconductor and devices lab program is a significant step towards enhancing technical education and fostering sustainable technology development in India.
