arising both from “facts” established through experience, albeit that from half acentury ago, and from superstitions.Past work [1,2] briefly presented the evidence on why a new look is merited at both these issues.The arguments come from post-1990 global developments in political, economic, demographicand social considerations, rather than from pure engineering science. Briefly, the world is a fardifferent place from that considered by NASA in the 1990s HSCT market projections, whichwere based almost entirely on western hemisphere routes touching the US coasts.

Our experience has shown MOSIS' capabilities make an important and highly motivatingcontribution to undergraduate education in electrical engineering. The insights which studentscan garner from a MOSIS fabrication cycle are important enhancements to the design experiencebase and the maturity of students. However, there is significant preparation required of educatorswishing to make use of this capability. Some of this preparation is not completely obvious ordocumented.
