Vision StatementVision Statement
“If you don’t know where you are going, all winds are favorable.”
Vision StatementVision Statement• Berkeley will be the most exciting place to
perform high impact research while learning about the latest developments in the rapidly developing field of EE and CS
• We will become #1, as measured by:– the quality and impact of our research– the excellent preparation of our students for
leadership– the exceptional value of our service to the state
and the nation– the dedication of our departmental staff to
outstanding service, and our commitment to recognize everyone's contribution to our success.
Vision StatementVision Statement
• We will achieve this by:– Leveraging our unique ability to collaborate across
traditional disciplinary boundaries– Exploiting our close proximity to the World’s greatest
concentration of high technology industry– Hiring and nuturing outstanding and energetic young
faculty, able to lead us into the new research areas of the 21st Century
– Retaining high selectivity within our graduate program, choosing students with the potential to be leaders in the field

The Information AgeThe Information Age
“Is this a great time, or what?” MCI Internet Ad
The Information AgeThe Information Age
• Electronics + computing = “information technology”• Technologies crucial for manipulating large amounts of
information in electronic formats– Hardware: Semiconductors, optoelectronics, high performance
computing and networking, satellites and terrestrial wireless communications devices;
– Software: Computer programs, software engineering, software agents;
– Hardware-Software Combination: Speech and vision recognition, compression technologies;
• Information industries: assemble, distribute, and process information in a wide range of media, e.g., telephone, cable, print, and electronic media companies
• $3 trillion world wide industry within ten years
Importance of Importance of Information Technology Information Technology
to Californiato California• $35 billion in 1995 sales (vs. $90 billion nationwide)• Home to:
– 27% of computer manufacturing industry employment– 50% of computer peripheral industry employment– 37% of nation’s venture capital– computers/electronics sector employment: 176,400– software sector employment: 104,000– telecomms/info tech employed: 329,000
• Approx. $28 billion for information technology R&D• State’s exports:
– $58.9 billion, more than half of California’s total exports!
• Bay region:– 93,000 employed in computers/electronics, 80,000 in telecomms,
59,000 in multimedia, 30,000 software jobs in Santa Clara county alone (45,000 new jobs statewide between 90-95)!
– San Jose beats NY as highest average wage city in country

Software Jobs Go Software Jobs Go BeggingBegging
• “America’s New Deficit: The Shortage of Information Technology Workers,” Department of Commerce– Job growth exceeds the available talent– 1994-2005: 1 million new information technology workers will
be needed
• “Help Wanted: The IT Workforce Gap at the Dawn of a New Century,” ITAA– 190,000 unfilled positions for IT workers nationwide– Between 1986 and 1994, bachelor degrees in CS fell from
42,195 to 24,200 (43%)
• Implications for sustaining the high technology boom in California and the U.S.?
