Exciting Times in the
World of Engineering
•
Personal computers multi-task and run at
remarkable speeds (>1 GHz)
•
Telecom / wireless / satellite technology enable
world-wide access to personal messaging and
communications
•
Devices continue to get smaller/cheaper/smarter
(nearly 16 billion transistors on a single chip)
•
Productivity and hence competitive advantage of
US industries continues to increase
