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
Paul Sale
Mentor Graphics
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
