Center for Microcontamination Control
CMC resarchers are working with industry partners to find ways to reduce contamination and defects in semiconductor manufacturing processes. This cross-disciplinary research includes researchers from several UA engineering departments and colleges. This center maintains a state-of-the-art ultrapure water system and equipment for evaluating surface and airborne contamination.
Center for Environmentally Benign Semiconductor Manufacturing
This center develops technologies, processes and procedures that will reduce the environmental impact of semiconductor manufacturing. Work in this NSF/SRC Engineering Research Center focuses on studies in the areas of ultrapure water, water recycling, plasma processes, wet chemicals, chemical-mechanical polishing and risk assessment.

Advanced Integration of Manufacturing Systems & Technology
This program focuses on research and education to enhance the competitiveness of manufacturing industries by emphasizing the integrated design of products, processes and production systems. Research focuses on studies of manufacturing system design and integrated product process development.
Advanced Traffic and Logistics Algorithms and Systems [ web ]
The ATLAS lab is a good place to take a peek at what traffic and smart cars will be like in the future. Among other things, cars will drive themselves and electronic traffic cops will use blocks-long vision to direct traffic. This program is designed to address problems in traffic congestion and transportation.
