Novel Sustainable and Structured Model, System and Methodology for Engineering Competency Development

Rapid technology evolution in the semiconductor industry induces new challenges for multinational corporations to hire competent engineers for design & development related job functions. This technology movement requires hired college graduates and experienced engineers to continuously upgrade their technical knowledge in order to keep up with the pace. However, there is no established model to systematically guide the technical workforce on how to address this problem in breadth and depth. Upon conducting a site-wide needs analysis, we discovered the absence of engineering curriculum for engineers from across various divisions, departments and functions and also responsible for the design & development of multi products: microprocessor, chipset, network processor, motherboard and networking modules. This paper presents the novel technical training model, system and method in solving the problem. The model describes the engineering development curricula (EDC), the system refers to the Engineering Development Team (EDT) and the methodology describes the curricula execution by the EDT to ensure quality, sustainability and timeliness. Finally, we depict result indicators and measurements techniques
