This first in a four-webinar series provides a summary of  the four sessions and will discuss the potential impact of commercial best practices on optimized development flows, delivering in-budget and on-time results, and provides introduction to how electronic systems, especially semiconductor-based systems, are designed and manufactured. It assumes no prior knowledge and will provide attendees with an understanding of Moore's Law, how chips are built in fabs, how chips are designed with tools like Cadence's, how boards and systems are created, how they are verified. This module generally sets up the presentations for the rest of the series.
