Probably true. My degree is in CompE from UIUC. A pretty well
respected school in the field. Processor design was a required course,
and taught you VHDL (at least the basics). Chip layouts and how
transistors are made (n and p silicon, worrying about capacitance and
indutance and all that stuff) was a separate, optional course. Few took
it and most dropped it (including myself, although by that time I had
decided to go into software).
Most dropped it? That's really disappointing.
Especially for UIUC. There are really only a handful of universities
with the ability to truly teach semiconductors. UIUC is one of the
stars. UMich and UT-Austin are effectively UIUC-North and UIUC-South in
semiconductors.
That pretty much only leaves UC-Berkeley. MIT and Stanford have become
pretty useless at VLSI.
Ouch. I knew it was bad; I didn't think it was this bad.
