Learn clean room standard operating procedures and fundamentals with this microcredential, June 24

A sterile white room filled with equipment and people in lab coats.

After a highly successful first cohort, ASU’s Clean Room Standard Operating Procedures and Fundamentals microcredential is returning this June with updated content, enhanced hands-on learning and expanded clean room activities.

This immersive program introduces students to one of the most important environments in advanced manufacturing: the clean room.

Used across semiconductor manufacturing, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and other high-tech industries, clean rooms require precision, contamination control and strict operational discipline. Through guided instruction and hands-on activities inside the ASU Polytechnic clean room, participants gain direct exposure to the practices and procedures used in real industry settings.

Throughout the workshop, students will learn:

  • Proper clean room gowning techniques.
  • Contamination control practices.
  • Entry and exit protocols.
  • Clean room behavior and movement.
  • Tool and material handling.

Led by industry expert Sean Dengler, the course combines technical foundations with practical application, helping students better understand the environments and workflows used in semiconductor and advanced manufacturing operations.

The previous cohort received an overwhelmingly positive response from participants, with students highly engaged throughout the workshop and eager to continue exploring clean room and semiconductor technologies.

This 10-hour microcredential is open to students interested in semiconductor manufacturing, biotechnology, advanced manufacturing and related technical fields. The cost is $25 for ASU students.
