作为首席技术官，我认为我的角色部分地通过计划评论，工程教育计划，会议，研讨会和KLA的产品生命周期过程来加强工程界。我也认为，对Spark Engineering Mistiver的令人统治性重要的是帮助工程师重新发现有助于推动创新的兴奋和好奇心。当激励创造时，工程师可以聚集在一起，形成一个强大的社区，利用他们多样化的思维和技能来帮助我们维持我们的技术领导力。
我们最近揭幕了KLA Engineering Inspiration Report，这探讨了在五个关键地区的工程师的激情，动机，挑战和技能 - 美国，U.K.，台湾，中国和以色列。当我谈论工程社区时，我想庆祝我们所有人都要到达我们所在的各种旅行 - 以及，这是该数据所显示的一部分。所以，让我们挖一点。
According to the research, engineers are looking for opportunities to change the world.In every region, engineers and students rank the ‘ability to solve problems’ as one of the top motivators for pursuing a career in the engineering field. Similarly, every region tiers the ‘opportunity to create something that might change people’s lives’ as one of the top motivators for entering the career.
In other words, engineers around the world feel a sense of purpose. I have long said that I think KLA as a company has a purpose and a mission to do grand scale research and development—like we did with our industry-leading BBP and Surfscan®SP7检验平台。对于那些不熟悉,our 39xx/29xx optical patterned wafer inspection systems utilize revolutionary broadband plasma (BBP) light sources, objectives and sensors. Likewise, our Surfscan SP7 unpatterned wafer inspection system leverages an innovative system architecture and DUV laser. With these technologies, both products discover the tiniest, nanoscale defect during chip manufacturing, helping our customers understand and address the critical process issues that could affect chip performance. If we don’t do the grand scale development, then our customers would not have the innovations to use and would see delays in their own product roadmaps.
While many engineers are motivated by the sense of purpose, the diversity in experiences and thinking are what help us progress the field and continue to innovate. We looked at some of the major regional differences in what motivates, inspires and challenges students and professionals when joining the field, and here’s a snapshot of what we found in each region:
在中国…
Nearly nine in 10 (88%) working engineers say they would recommend becoming an engineer to someone they know. On average, engineers in China say 55% of their success is dependent on team collaboration, possibly speaking to a cultural difference as no other region attributed so much of their success to teamwork. And, almost one-third (29%) of engineers say they are most motivated to stay in engineering because they previously created a product that they are proud of and want to do it again.
In Taiwan…
大多数（70％）的工程师和学生都说数字革命（即，AI，机器学习和其他技术的出生和使用）起着激励他们在工程的职业或兴趣方面发挥着作用。
As far as education goes, more than half (57%) of engineers and students were motivated to pursue engineering by being able to use their aptitude or training in STEM. Yet, also more than half (56%) of students and professional engineers say the time it takes to become an engineer is a barrier to more people choosing that career path.
在以色列......
学生和工程师都相似看到当今未来的机会（58％）并将人们的生命（55％）改变为加入该领域的两个顶级动机。然而，一半（50％）的工程学生和专业人士表示，实现学术卓越的压力是更多人选择该领域的障碍。而且，四分之一（24％）专业人士和学生表示有人从工程的职业中劝阻他们 - 许多被调查的地区中的最高比例。
Despite the challenges, three in four (76%) professional engineers feel just as passionate or more passionate about their jobs now than when they were studying to become an engineer—suggesting the hard work pays off in the end.
In the U.K…
10个以上10（94％）学生表示，他们对成为和工程师的机会非常热衷，以及类似的专业人士（88％）表示他们建议成为他们所知道的人的工程师。然而，近四分之一（26％）的学生和专业人士表示，作为职业道路的简单工程是进入的障碍。
And, finally in the U.S…
像U.K.一样，大多数学生（93％）对成为工程师的机会充满热情，几乎所有专业人士（93％）会向他们所知道的人推荐职业生涯。In the U.S., passion exceeds expectations—with 70% of engineering professionals saying they are just as, if not more, passionate about their careers now than when they started and 78% of engineers feel it’s better than they thought it would be before starting on the career path.
在我的经历中，没有两个工程职业是一样的。It’s what makes the engineering profession so amazing and inspiring to me—and why I chose KLA in 1984.
