Even as the global chip shortage eases, U.S. semiconductor companies
Top manager of Intel Raja Koduri sharedconcerns about staffing shortages. Over the past three decades, US college admissions in computer science majors have reportedly increased, while electrical engineering majors have plummeted.
All this may point to an impending bigproblem. The growth of the industry will not be possible if there are not enough engineers to design, manufacture and test microcircuits. It is noted that Intel in connection with the situation promised to spend 100 million dollars to improve education in the field of semiconductors in the United States. Half of that money will go towards finding enough people to work at Intel's Ohio facility.
