Travel Funds for HBCU Faculty to Attend VLSI Conference and Symposium on July 19-21, 1989 in Santa Clara, CA

该项目旨在增加历史上的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)参与VLSI CAD相关教学和研究的数量。更具体地说，将从选定的HBCU中挑选合适的教师作为其大学VLSI活动的协调人。这些与会者将出席第二届VLSI教育年会和博览会，该会议将提供一个论坛，让教育者、行业代表、政府赞助商和供应商就共同关心的VLSI教育领域进行交流。HBCU的目标是：塔斯基吉大学、南方大学、北卡罗来纳农工大学、霍华德大学、汉普顿大学和普莱里维尤农工大学。这一努力的好处有两个。首先，HBCU的教职员工将获得关于课程和实验室发展、研究机会、接触全国各地的联系人等方面的想法。其次，预计这些教职员工将成为推动HBCU更积极地参与国家对VLSI的关注的催化剂。

This project is directed at increasing the number of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU's) involved in VLSI CAD-related teaching and research. More specifically, appropriate faculty from selected HBCU's will be identified to serve as the focal point for their universities VLSI activities. These participants will attend the 2nd Annual VLSI Education Conference and Exposition which will provide a forum for communication between educators, industrial representatives, government sponsors and vendors in areas of common interest in VLSI education. The targeted HBCU's are: Tuskeegee University, Southern University, North Carolina A&T State University, Howard University, Hampton University and Prairie View A&M University. The benefits of this effort are twofold. First, faculty participants from the HBCU's will gain ideas on course and laboratory development, research opportunities, access to contacts throughout the country, etc. Secondly, it is anticipated that these faculty will serve as the catalysts for involving HBCU's more aggressively in the national focus on VLSI.
