Evening Panel Discussion 2
Practical Circuits & Technology Training: Academia vs. Industry – Where Do We Learn the Most? [Suzaku I+II]
Date & Time: 8:00P.M.-9:30P.M. on June 10

Traditional education may not fully prepare IC designers for real-world challenges. However, obtaining a sound theoretical basis and strong understanding of basic principles of electrical engineering and systems design is learned at an academic institution that also imparts critical thinking skills. So, is learning best done on the job or is there something that on-the-job training just doesn’t teach you? Audience participation is encouraged. A scorecard will track academia vs. industry, with final scores revealed at the event's end.
