What's a bit surprising to me is that Chinese manufacturers already know how to do it. They're becoming excellent at manufacturing, while it's become a bit of a lost art over here in the USA. I was lucky that my Caltech college curriculum included so many hands-on projects -- I'm under the impression that many EE majors spend most of their time in IC design. Can any current EE college students confirm?

I can confirm that there is a serious lack of time spent working on hands-on projects in EE curriculum (at Cornell, in my case).

That's unfortunate! If you know any students who would be interested in my developing an online hardware engineering course, just send me an email at [e-mail]. Thanks!
