Power Device, Electronic R&D Awarded

A new $3.5 million award from the National Institute of Standards and Technology confirms the University of Arkansas’ place as a world leader in power packing research and development. The award will allow the High-Density Electronics Center (or HIDEC) to upgrade its facility and become a Power Packaging Center of Excellence.
