A semiconductor industry perspective on future directions in ECE education

This paper looks at changes in the education of engineers made necessary by unprecedented challenges within the semiconductor industry, from the perspective of a not-for-profit consortium of semiconductor manufacturers. To design and implement curricula to serve as a basis for the 40-year career of engineering graduates is a daunting challenge in this rapidly evolving environment. The authors propose ten principles that should be of use in connecting the graduates of today with the engineering careers of tomorrow.
