About the PRC

The Microsystems Packaging Research Center (PRC) is housed in the Manufacturing Research Center building on the Georgia Tech campus. Established in 1994 as a U.S. National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center, the Georgia Institute of Technology Microsystems Packaging Research Center (PRC) is the largest center worldwide dedicated to System-on-Package (SOP) and microsystems packaging technologies. The PRC has comprised of 7 academic departments, as many as 600 students were involved in SOP development, as well as 40 faculty, 15 researchers, and over 160 companies from around the world. The PRC offers unique and interdisciplinary degree programs at the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. levels as well as continuing education in SOP technologies.
