RE:"Wafer fab processes are materials oriented and involve chemicals, plasma processing, oxidation, diffusion, ion implantation - these are areas covered by Chem. E and Materials Science"

I recall you were a material science major. Makes sense.
I remember seeing that a lot of Intel people, like Andy Grove, were chemical engineers. This originally puzzled me.
Actually it does my heart good to see are that pure science course work rewarded.

Paul - Re: "EEs are useful for actual circuit design and verification and testing."

EE's are fine, wonderful people who are really necessary to keep the world going around. Much nicer types actually than the chemical types.

Paul,

EEs are useful for actual circuit design and verification and testing.

How about architecture, microarchitecture, and logic design- the stuff which real EE's do for a living?
