| Popis: | Publisher Summary Each significant improvement in man's scientific knowledge brings changes in the worldwide educational system and the need for scientific and engineering manpower. The coming revolution in very large-scale integration (VLSI) will generate similar disruptions in the educational system and in the engineering manpower required to support this advance in information handling capability. Employment of engineering graduates has been largely a function of the health of the industries that hire those engineers. This has certainly been true of the electronics industry, the single largest industry segment employing engineers. The health of most electronics companies depends on the cycle of economic boom and bust. The development of VLSI technology will change the mix of skills required by semiconductor manufacturers and by the users of VLSI. The most critical skills for the semiconductor manufacturer are those of processing specialist and circuit designer. The onset of VLSI has both broadened the required range of critical skills and forced specialization on the individual technical practitioner. |
