The SJSU Micro Maker Space Project Receives $1 Million in Federal Funding

San José State is among the beneficiaries of a bipartisan government funding bill passed by Congress, with more than $1 million in funding to support a key project in the Charles W. Davidson College of Engineering.

On January 23, the U.S. Congress passed H.R.6938 – Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act, 2026, a bill that included more than $3.2 million in Community Project Funding secured by Congressman Sam Liccardo (CA-16) to strengthen coastal resilience, grow the innovation workforce and enhance public safety across California’s 16th Congressional District. The Community Project Funds will support multiple projects across the Bay Area, including San José State University’s College of Engineering, home to the Micro Maker Space for Semiconductor Prototyping project.
