"Now thats just how well a job “educators” have done!!! Intel has been there for YEARS!"

Motorola there making chips even earlier.

"“TSMC doesn’t have the history that Intel does with the university to attract such talent as easily.”"

Morris Chang, after working at Texas Instruments for 25 years was passed over for president of TI. He quit and eventually started TSMC.
(And now, you know the rest of the story)

Jack KilbyNovember 8, 1923 – June 20, 2005) was an American electrical engineer who took part (along with Robert Noyce of Fairchild) in the realization of the first integrated circuit while working at Texas Instruments (TI) in 1958. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics on December 10, 2000.[1] Kilby was also the co-inventor of the handheld calculator and the thermal printer, for which he had the patents. He also had patents for seven other inventions.[2](Notice that Robert Noyce was not included on the Nobel Prize)

Intel were late comers to the chip-making business.

TSMC otherwise known as Taiwan Semiconductor, was founded in Taiwan. It never “went overseas,” it began there.

I have a few EE friends from your class. They were keggers too!

Interesting ratios there. The higher comp-sci number makes sense. But the need for EE will never go away.
