“

(upbeat music) (transition whooshing) (transition whooshing) (upbeat music continues) - So we both work at Purdue as educators. Our job is to educate the next generation of electrical engineers, computer engineers, semiconductor engineers. Are we doing our jobs? Are we actually generating enough folks to handle all of these opportunities and challenges that you've laid out? - Yeah, I certainly hope we're doing our jobs, but there is opportunity and need for so much more. So with the demands in the application spaces, generative AI, wireless communication, IoT, electrified vehicles, and everything else that we've covered in this course to a certain extent, the demand for the growth of the semiconductor industry is projected in 2030 to be at about a trillion dollar industry, which, in terms of capacity and manufacturing and design and device engineering to keep us current, is going to require about 300,000 new engineers and scientists and technicians in that space across all levels of…
