Did you hear about integrated circuits in school?
Did anyone offer you a course on how to design ICs in university?
I heard that Singapore NTU has 100+ graduates with PCB and IC design skills each year. If I was a chip-foundry-to-be, I'd build my factory where the employees are.
- kuschku 5y agoProcessor design was a required class during my undergraduate, and from what I’ve heard several other universities have very similar classes.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoIt sounds like a chicken / egg problem. We had some in school, as part of the software engineering curriculum. The electrical engineering department probably touched on it as well.
- tlamponi 5y ago> Did anyone offer you a course on how to design ICs in university? Yes, standard courses in Computer Engineering, at least here at Vienna's Institute of Technology, which with comp. eng. and masters in similar fields (just a slight focus shift to, e.g., the modelling/verification side) there's about the same order of magnitudes of students graduating per year too. Chip foundries do not go where their employees graduate, but where they get gov incentives for building their fabs.
