LEAP @ Stonehill
The Lab for Education & Application Prototype (LEAP) grant program, funded by the Massachusetts Manufacturing Innovation Initiative (M2I2), is a broad coalition of AIM Photonics, government, academia, and industry that evolved as a solution to a national shortage of photonics and electronics technicians and engineers.
Located on the College's campus in the Thomas and Mary Shields Science Center in room 142, the LEAP @ Stonehill houses state-of-the-art equipment applicable to material characterization and high speed photonics device testing. Students in the Advanced Manufacturing & Integrated Photonics Program, a technician training certificate program offered in partnership with Bridgewater State University, and students in the undergraduate Photonics program gain hands-on experience in the LEAP @ Stonehill. It is also used to support student and faculty research at Stonehill College.
The LEAP @ Stonehill is part of a network of LEAPS throughout Massachusetts, a part of The AIM Photonics Academy. Funding is through the Massachusetts Manufacturing Innovation Initiative (M2I2).
If you are an applicant for the NEMC PROPEL program, feel free to reach out to use the LEAP facilities for your prototyping needs, which can be partially paid for by NEMC.
