goal in 760 is to make students "CAD-literate" to the extent that they understand what the big problems are, what the core algorithms are, and how chips and tools and design methodologies interact. Folks in the IC and EDA (electronic design automation) industry often call or email with job offers relevant to people who have taken 760. This page is posts all these jobs-offered in a central forum.

Hi Rob,
We have exciting job opportunities for students graduating
with an ECE/CS background. Can you please forward the
information below to relevant mailing lists in the ECE department.
We will have a booth at the TOC 2001 and we look forward
to meeting lots of ECE/CS students.
Thanks,
