Abstract
Today’s students have access to tools students 40 years ago could only dream of. They approach learning in different ways as well, but as a profession we largely teach in much the same way we did 40 or even 100 years ago. How can we engage students to want a career in semiconductor technology beyond a stable, well-paying job? How do we attract top students that seem to all want to be in health care? I’d like to highlight some approaches and ideas to help make semiconductors exciting and relevant again.
