The Design Automation Conference (DAC) annually awards a scholarship in memory of Dr A. Richard Newton to support graduate research and study in electronic design automation (EDA). The $24K scholarship supports graduate students or young faculty investigators embarking on new research in the field of EDA. The successful applicants will be announced at the 49th DAC, which will be held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California, from June 3-7, 2012.
Richard Newton was a professor and dean of the College of Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, a pioneer in electronic design automation and integrated circuit design, and a visionary leader in the technology industry. His teaching and research interests include all aspects of the design of electronic systems and the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) to the solution of societal problems.
Dr. Newton understood the power of engineering and technology in entirely new ways, and he connected them to addressing society's toughest problems. The vibrancy of his thinking helped shape an industry on what engineering is and what it can be. The A. Richard Newton Graduate Scholarship honors Dr. Newton and supports entrepreneurship with the same vision and spirit for engineering.
Scholarships will be awarded based on the following criteria:
•Quality and applicability of the proposed research
•Impact of the award on the program at the faculty investigator's institution
•Academic credentials of the student(s)
•Financial need. Preference will be given to students and programs that can demonstrate financial need.
