OEIB’s Proposed STEM Hubs

Responsible for organizing and directing STEM operations in a region such as: Operating a regional, flagship, 6-14 STEM Lab school; Centralizing and organizing existing regional work

around STEM; Enhancing access to existing regional STEM and CTE

facilities and learning opportunities for under-represented students and schools by facilitating inter-district usage and transportation agreements; ands

Improving infrastructure, equipment and machinery in existing STEM and CTE facilities to absorb greater numbers of students.

How Mentor Graphics Contributes and Benefits

Portland State University & Emulation

What is emulation?

Emulation uses a supercomputer to test chip designs

This process reduces the time from design to mass production significantly for chipmakers (up to 1,000 times faster than using a standard computer)

Emulators are difficult to use

Mentor desires a greater community familiar with how to use an emulator

Relatively small, but growing, industry

2009 – Mentor donated an emulator (value ~$1M)

2012 – Mentor donated $825K so that PSU can add a faculty member

and open a dedicated lab space for training and research
