A Chip Odyssey
The documentary film will be shown on Thursday, October 22 at 6 PM in the Alliant Energy-Lee Liu Auditorium, Howe Hall, ISU. It is co-sponsored by the IEEE student branch, and the Committee on Lectures.
The documentary film "A Chip Odyssey" features interviews with over 80 key figures who witnessed and shaped the development of the semiconductor industry - from the first generation of engineers and female factory workers, to policymakers and technology venters, and today's young engineers facing new crossroads. The feature-length documentary chronicles how Taiwan built its semiconductor industry from scratch and transformed it into a global technological force, capturing a vital and transformative chapter in the island's modern history.
Stay after the film for a discussion, followed by a reception with free food generously sponsored by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Chicago.
