Depends upon how you look at it. I would say it focuses it and lets you gain knowledge with a specific focus area. You cannot ask a PhD who did his research in battery chemistry lets say to build a new type of explosive. He will have to go through the entire process of learning about explosives...
You need competency, experience and the will a lot more than a degree. Of course you need domain specific knowledge. For me I don't care if it comes from a degree or coursera. Take for example ASML .. it is one the most (underrated though) high tech company which makes a physical product. They...
In the end it does not really matter. The gun itself (barrel and breach) is what is important. The rest can be modified for towed or mounted configuration.
You have the answer in your question. They are blocking "Chinese ships". The Chinese should do something not just us. Gawadar is suppose to be an alternative to the malacca strait. The Americans don't have the capacity to block both simultaneously and not trigger a wider conflict. A wider...
At this point I am happy if any work is going on. I hope government invests in this sector. This is something crucial for this century and we don't have the knowledge base for it.
Are they Pakistani .? .. if so then that is very good news. As per my understanding Lampro Mellon is not a design firm but rather a design verification and compliance firm. They deal with architecture issues but I don't think they deal with architecture to silicon and fabrication process.
Yes I know about RISC-V but the main company behind it SiFive is not Pakistani. I think they might have R&D center in Pakistan (not sure). Even with RISC-V in Pakistan it would only satisfy just a very small part of a complex system. I would invest heavily in commercial fabs for mass market to...
I understand but what exactly are we going to do with that fab. Having a fab does not mean you can produce your own processors. For that you have to invest also in different domain which is processor architecture development. You also have to invest in translating that architecture into silicon...
Sure if they are there then why not. But I think you can also find very competent Bachelor and Master degree holder with industry experience provided the packages are good.
As I mentioned its because of there knowledge and experience not because they have PhD but I understand your point. I...
Sure we can invest in fab just for military if we have 100 Billion dollar budget. But with our budget I would rely on Chinese supply of electronic components and build capacity of developing our own systems around it. The Chinese already have capacity to build up to 14nm I think and they are...
To be honest I don't really care whether they are PhDs or Masters or Bachelors or nothing. You can hire 80 PhDs with no experience in the industry or product development and the output will be nothing. It does not mean you do not need PhDs, you do need them because if you want a very specific...
I do not agree with your assumption that you need more PhDs. Unless you are doing pure research and the intention is churn out few research papers then sure PhDs would be ideal. But for R&D you need a mix within a team. For example for materials you need PhDs to come up new materials as these...
