The Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, in collaboration with the semiconductor industry, recently held an event titled \u201cWorlds of Hardware.\u201d The aim of the event was to provide students better exposure to hardware engineering. Speakers explained how hardware engineering is rapidly changing and evolving, and gave examples of the kind of challenges engineers are solving in the industry today.<\/p>\n

The event included a presentation of the various tracks that students could pursue. In the \u201cWorld of Students\u201d section, the students were shown the different courses, labs, and projects included in electrical engineering and computer engineering degrees in the field of hardware design. In \u201cWorld of Research,\u201d research labs from the faculty presented their work, including graduate students\u2019 posters and lab demos. In the \u201cWorld of Career\u201d booths, ten semiconductor companies demonstrated their most advanced technologies. Some 800 students participated in the event.<\/p>\n

Israel is a global center for chip design. In recent years, increasingly advanced functionalities are performed not on the software (programming) but on the hardware level. Consequently, hardware engineers are in increasing demand, not only in the traditional semiconductor industry but also in software corporations like Google, Microsoft, and Meta (Facebook). Technion alumni form an important part of this industry.<\/p>\n

Speakers at the event included Evelyn Landman, Co-Founder and CTO at ProteanTecs; Guy Azrad, Vice President of Chip Design Engineering at Google; Ido Bukspan, Vice President of Chip Design at NVIDIA; and Tal Inbar, Senior Director of System on Chip Engineering at Apple.<\/p>\n

\u201cA decade ago, the dominant paradigm in hardware was that as transistors are becoming smaller, one need only cram more transistors on the same chip to make it more efficient,\u201d Guy Azrad from Google told the students. \u201cThese days, we\u2019ve just about reached the physical limits of how small a transistor can be. So, we have to design smarter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDesigning hardware is becoming increasingly challenging, and increasingly interesting,\u201d added Tal Inbar from Apple. \u201cIt is also increasingly rewarding. Doing things in hardware is significantly more efficient than doing them in software, in terms of both power and performance. Through smart design, we get to push the limits of the possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many different technologies all combined on every single chip,\u201d Ido Bukspan from NVIDIA explained. \u201cConsider for example systems like lab-on-chip, a device only square millimeters in size, which can perform laboratory functions \u2013 how many different technologies must be incorporated inside. A chip is like a city of technologies. Balancing them all so the chip functions properly \u2013 to me that\u2019s engineering at its finest.\u201d<\/p>\n
