16. Paul Sale Mentor Graphics How Mentor Graphics Contributes and Benefits

17. Portland State University & Emulation 17 What is emulation? Emulation uses a supercomputer to test chip designs This process reduces the time from design to mass production significantly for chipmakers (up to 1,000 times faster than using a standard computer) Emulators are difficult to use Mentor desires a greater community familiar with how to use an emulator Relatively small, but growing, industry 2009 – Mentor donated an emulator (value ~$1M) 2012 – Mentor donated $825K so that PSU can add a faculty member and open a dedicated lab space for training and research and open a dedicated lab space for training and research

18. Mentor Graphic’s Growth in Poland 18 Current Mentor GM had relationship with University in Poland Desire to find more talent in locations that were not flooded with companies Brought over lead R&D from another country to “lead” the formation of the technical group Continued ongoing, collaborative relationship with university Employees in Poland Majority of employees are software engineers

20. State Representative Chris Harker STEM Taskforce Chairman STEM Access and Success Task Force

21. STEM Task Force Recommendations STEM Council to develop, coordinate, and advance STEM learning and industry engagement in Oregon. STEM Hubs to channel and coordinate community, regional, and state resources for STEM learning. Funding support for STEM students, programs, and teachers. Funding for proper technology infrastructure. Pathways for increasing industry partnership in STEM education. South Metro-Salem STEM Partnership is a perfect example of an emerging STEM Hub.
