Have you ever thought about how and why something was designed? Who was considered a “stakeholder” for the design? And what biases are baked within the process of designing something? These are some ...

Once upon a time, integrated circuits (ICs) were built by the same companies that designed them. The design of an IC was tightly integrated with the manufacturing processes available within each ...

It is important that engineers document the design process so that they can communicate it to others and ensure no information is lost. It is also critical for convincing decision-makers to approve ...

Identify needs, which may include the learning context and audience. How do you get there? Start with writing goals and learning objectives, then focus on assessments, learning activities, and ...

Process design kits consist of a set of files that typically contain descriptions of the basic building blocks of the process. They are expressed, algorithmically, as Pcells. These descriptions are ...

There are a host of hardware accelerators for various machine-learning ML models. To wit, Renesas has come up with a ternary SRAM-based system to accelerate convolutional-neural-network (CNN) ...

An approach that promised to democratize design may have done the opposite. When Kyle Cornforth first walked into IDEO’s San Francisco offices in 2011, she felt she had entered a whole new world. At ...
