Micron announced that its non-profit arm, the Micron Technology Foundation, has pledged to donate $1 million over the next four years to create the Micron Research Center at the Utah State University College of Engineering.

The center will host research and instruction in the area of emerging hardware and software technologies, particularly in reconfigurable hardware technologies. The center will also train USU undergraduate and graduate students in engineering and science. According to Micron, the center's research will concentrate on solutions addressing reliability, communication, power and performance in memory device design and manufacturing.

Micron said the research center will involve 10 undergraduates, six masters and two doctoral students each year. As part of the donation for the center, undergraduate and graduate students will have an opportunity to apply for research scholarships and funding.

The research center will be housed in the electrical and computer engineering department when it is completed in the fall of next year.

"Micron has been a great partner in helping the college of engineering teach and train students with the knowledge and skills they will need to create tomorrow's technologies and services," Scott Hinton, the dean of the USU College of Engineering, said in a statement.
