* * * * * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * * * 3RD Annual MICROELECTRONIC SYSTEM EDUCATION CONFERENCE & EXPOSITION* Santa Clara, California July 29 - August 1, 1990 * Previously the VLSI Education Conference & Exposition Don't Miss This One! For the last two years over 100 universities have participated in this unique event. Due to popular demand, we have broadened the scope of the conference to address all aspects of microelectronic system design. There are now two tracks, tutorials, a "tiny chip" contest, and much more. Scope and Purpose: The Microelectronic System Education Conference & Exposition is dedicated to promoting the training of microelectronic system designers in modern technology. This conference will combine papers, invited talks, panel discussions, workshops, tutorials, and an exposition to provide a forum for communication between educators, industrial representatives, government sponsors, and vendors in areas of common interest in Microelectronic System education. All papers that are accepted and meet the deadline for final copy will be published in the Conference Proceedings. Who Should Attend: This Conference is intended for those who are involved in meeting the national need for microsystem designers. The major focus is on Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Academic and industrial people who wish to discuss issues and share experiences in Microelectronic System Education will find this meeting most valuable. Students who are planning a career in teaching advanced microsystem design will find this meeting to be their best opportunity to learn about the field. In addition, this meeting is the best source of information about grant programs and discounts on a wide variety of equipment, software, and supplies appropriate to teaching microsystem design.
