3. The new economy is “knowledge-based” zThe “content” of high-tech products is intellectual rather than physical (cf. software) yThe Washington Software Alliance estimates that 75% of the jobs in Washington’s software industry require a Bachelors or Masters degree yBut Washington ranks in the bottom ten states in the nation in our capacity to grant these degrees

4. Requires a multi-faceted approach zInvest in our research institutions -- the #1 factor in high-tech success zIncrease Bachelors capacity statewide -- both progressively and radically zContinue to strengthen community college technology programs zContinue to increase distance learning, learning-on-demand, lifelong learning zBuild the K-12 pipeline -- with equity!

25. From: Sent: Friday, December 22, 2000 9:14 AM To: Ed Lazowska Cc: Subject: UW Program Ed, A note from the other side of the fence. I want to thank you for the quality you've built into the UW CS program. We have a large number of UW-trained engineers at [Company]. The group includes undergrads ([A], [B]), Masters [C], [D], and [E]), and a Ph.D. ([F]). And, of course, we have [G]. These students rock. Their training gives them a tremendous boost relative to other engineers. This is especially valuable to us because of the technical nature of our product. They have a tremendous work ethic too. They're among the most dedicated and hard working of our employees. They work well independently and are quite generative. That is, they almost always give back more than was asked for. Finally, they're great team players. They help their colleagues without a second thought. These are the best people to build an organization around. These are smart people. You clearly did a good job selecting them. They are also well-prepared by your program to have a big impact and to be successful. Thanks. More please. [X] VP, Engineering [Company]
