DAC 2012: Interview with Dr. Kerstin Eder about her course on functional verification

Dr. Kerstin Eder, Sr. Lecturer in the Computer Science department at the University of Bristol, UK teaches a course on functional verification. In this interview she outlines how the course is structured, what makes for a good verification engineer, and anecdotes of how students are getting snapped up by industry immediately after graduation. (Confirming what I see here in the USA and other geographies, if you are ne engineer or computer scientist in need of a job, earning your way through courses/training like that offered by Dr. Eder will give you a leg up in this tough economy -- the verification field is about as recession proof as it gets in the technology business.)
