In the early days of the semiconductor industry, integrated circuits were designed by one or two engineers with slide-rules, hand-drawn on paper, and then given to a lithographer to print onto silicon ...

Through interdisciplinary research, community revitalization, and inclusive, interactive computing, the Center for Human-Computer Interaction + Design (HCI+D) — a collaboration between Northwestern ...

Fifth-year applied physics Ph.D. candidate Ben Bartlett, postdoctoral scholar Avik Dutt and electrical engineering professor Shanhui Fan proposed a new computer hardware design in November that could, ...

Computer-aided designs, such as this model of a fingertip-sized heart pump, can reduce the number of physical prototypes that must be made. Computer-aided design (CAD) is a tool intended to facilitate ...

For the second time in a year, commercial software provider AnalySwift LLC has received a contract from NASA to develop a design tool for tailorable composites and hybrid system materials. The ...

Computer engineering is a broad field that sits in between the hardware of electrical engineering and the software of computer science. When computer engineers design hardware, they focus on what the ...

The department of computer science recently introduced a new concentration in software engineering and design, available to students pursuing either a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in ...

The sheer scale of the challenge is like nothing we've faced before. But it's not as if the high-tech industry is looking up at a rock wall like El Capitan or the famed North Face of Mount Everest.
