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

该项目旨在增加传统黑人学院和大学（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中确定适当的教师，作为他们大学VLSI活动的焦点。这些参与者将参加第二届年度VLSI教育会议和博览会，这将为教育工作者、行业代表、政府赞助商和供应商在VLSI教育领域共同感兴趣的领域提供一个交流的论坛。目标HBCU包括：塔斯基吉大学、南方大学、北卡罗来纳农工州立大学、霍华德大学、汉普顿大学和普里维尤农工大学。这种努力的好处是双重的。首先，来自HBCU的教师参与者将获得有关课程和实验室发展的想法，研究机会，以及在全国范围内接触的机会等。其次，预计这些教师将成为促使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.
