Tools IV/Education: Microprocessor short courses: A sampling of courses, ranging from one day to two weeks, and priced from $25 to $750, is provided

With microprocessor technology developing at a faster pace than most design engineers can follow, the need for special forms of education — to prepare engineers to evaluate and use these new systems-on-a-chip — has become evident. Responding to this need, conferences and publications concerned with conveying knowledge and up-to-date information about microprocessors have mushroomed.
