TLC for TLA

Mentor will announce winners of its Technology Leadership Awards this afternoon. While the name of the award is misleading — non-Mentor CAD users need not apply — there always are some great designs. (Side note: Our own Pete Waddell is a judge.)

We will post the winners as they are announced; check back around 2 pm Eastern.

Design to Win

Glad to see Mentor is continuing with its annual Technology Leadership Awards competition.

The program, which has been around since 1988, uses a panel of judges to select the best designs in six end-product categories. (The only catch is that you have to use Mentor’s software; not sure what would happen if someone tried to enter a design using, say, OrCad. But since you send in screen shots, it would be self-evident.)

Oh, and our own Pete Waddell is a judge. But don’t let that stop you.
