However, with scaling of ICs toNano-scale, an ideal integrated circuit delivering reliable performance over its lifetime is almostimpossible. All ICs experience degradation over time due to the aging of underlying transistors.Working on latest technology issues is typically an opportunity available only to graduate levelstudents working on related research projects. To address this gap, using a NASA CurriculumImprovements Partnership Award for the Integration of Research (CIPAIR) grant, we havecreated a summer internship program that engages community college students in researchprojects on the latest challenges of circuit design in nano-scale

thisconcept is that routine engineering work, which was once performed by American engineers, isnow being outsourced to international technology shops. Designing a circuit board or a newmechanical pump can now be adequately performed by “commodity engineers” in China orIndia, and at about one-fifth the labor costs of an American tech worker. The playing field isnow level, and American engineers must offer better value, such as creativity, communication,and leadership skills, in the world employment market today.This global competition has not happened by accident. Certainly the arrival of the internet tenyears ago has hastened global engineering. For example, an engineering project or design ideacan start in the United States at 8 am, be sent to Asia

the teaching of engineering ethics. Despite use of de-sign iteration and trial-and-error in engineering practice and projects, engineering instructionbroadly does not seem to leave much room for failure as part of the learning experience. Inclasses, students can be instructed only on how to find the right answer, and then be pun-ished, through low marks or exclusion from opportunities, for failure. Even in classes thatcultivate intuition, innovation and creativity, there is usually a right answer and thus a spe-cific, predetermined pathway to success that, unlike Elden Ring, does not repeatedly endurefailure. This may be a practical position for more introductory, knowledge and theory basedcourses (although still debatable), but one area that
