Abstract :
This paper focuses on the output of a curriculum-enhancement working group charged with creating a compelling case for semiconductor industry support of recommendations to address issues defined by the working group as being vital in developing the technical talent pool for the 21st century. The working group was created as part of an effort to address a shortage of technical talent early in the next decade as predicted by the engineers/university segment of the human resource needs roadmap prepared for the semiconductor industry by the Semiconductor Research Corporation
