Advancing Mathematics,<br />
Science and Engineering<br />
Math, science and engineering are the essential building<br />
blocks of technology and innovation. To help advance<br />
education and research in these critical subject areas,<br />
<strong>Intel</strong> supports programs for elementary and secondary<br />
students as well as for faculty and students at the<br />
university level.<br />
Science Competitions<br />
<strong>Intel</strong> International Science and Engineering Fair. In 2005, the <strong>Intel</strong> International Science and Engineering<br />
Fair (<strong>Intel</strong> ISEF), the world’s largest pre-college science competition, brought together more than<br />
1,400 young scientists from a record 45 countries, regions and territories to share ideas, showcase cutting-edge<br />
science, and compete for more than $3 million in awards and scholarships. Each year, finalists<br />
are selected from over 550 <strong>Intel</strong> ISEF-affiliated fairs held worldwide. Through these affiliate fairs, millions<br />
of students engage in deep scientific research and develop the passion that will make them tomorrow’s<br />
innovators. 2006 marks <strong>Intel</strong>’s tenth year as title sponsor of the competition.<br />
<strong>Intel</strong> Science Talent Search. The <strong>Intel</strong> Science Talent Search is America’s oldest and most prestigious<br />
pre-college science competition. The competition provides an<br />
opportunity for U.S. high school seniors to complete an original research project and have it recognized<br />
by a national jury of highly regarded professional scientists. The winners and their schools receive $1.25<br />
million in scholarships and awards. All 300 semifinalists receive $1,000 each, as do their schools. After<br />
a week-long program in Washington, D.C. in March, the top 10 winners also receive scholarship awards<br />
ranging from $20,000 to $100,000.<br />
Higher Education<br />
<strong>Intel</strong>® Higher Education Program. The <strong>Intel</strong> Higher Education Program<br />
is designed to advance innovation in key areas of technology and to<br />
develop a pipeline of world-class technical talent for tomorrow’s high-tech<br />
industries. We achieve these goals through collaboration with more than<br />
100 top universities in 30 countries.<br />
The <strong>Intel</strong> Higher Education Curriculum Forum continued to expand in 2005. Working with leading faculty,<br />
we added new curricula in the areas of technology entrepreneurship, signal integrity, packaging technology<br />
and microelectronics fabrication. Curricula are available both on the Internet and through face-toface<br />
workshops.<br />
In 2005, <strong>Intel</strong> continued to promote student-centered higher education programs. The introduction of<br />
the Technology Entrepreneurship program was a particular highlight. It brings a proven curriculum on<br />
entrepreneurship from the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business to universities worldwide. The <strong>Intel</strong><br />
Higher Education Program launched a multi-country business plan competition called the <strong>Intel</strong>+UC<br />
Berkeley Technology Entrepreneurship Challenge. Participants hailed from Mexico, Russia, Singapore and<br />
