Chennai: IIT-Madras is all set to bring out an interdisciplinary 'Center of Excellence' which will focus more on the research based innovative projects in embedded systems, Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) design and try to enable technologies by fostering partnership with various industrial players. Kamakoti Veezhinathan, Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT-Madras, said "Instead of training students of engineering to be ‘industry-ready,' engineering colleges should equip them with the fundamentals of design and engineering, that would help them understand processes better. The shortage of skilled faculty in the specialized fields including circuit design and VLSI is a serious concern. Stanford University professor Thomas H Lee said that the best is yet to come in embedded revolution. "The increasing pervasiveness of microprocessors in all walks of life including communications, consumer care, industry, defence and health care shows that they are very much in the fabric of our existence, but just invisible," he said.
