"There's never been a more competitive time in US industrial history...There's really only one way to compete in this new era - that's to have a close cooperation between research and development, training of students and transferring those students and that research and development into the industrial arena. Thats what the Consortium for Embedded Systems is all about."Craig Barrett - Intel
