An Innovative Program of University/Industry Cooperation in Microprocessor Education

The need for a university to provide high quality microprocessor education to a constituency consisting of undergraduate and graduate students, university faculty and staff, and engineers in industry requires substantial resources in the form of state-of-the-art equipment and experienced instructors. This paper describes a unique, ongoing, joint effort between the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stony Brook and Intel Corporation that has allowed both Stony Brook and Intel to accomplish their goals in the area of microprocessor education.
