I was at TTI back in the late 70's when it was in downtown Tampa, next to the tv studios for NBC. The school moved about 3 months before graduating. The courses were great and the subject material went very deep. This was the years when electronics were changing-fast! and I had exposure to vacuum tubes, solid-state, microprocessors and basic language programming, all in 12 months! The Profs were real-world workers and thinkers, from big companies, academia and the military. Got placed with IBM in Vermont and stayed for 15 years there, doing test equipment work for 10 of that and then layout design of circuits (CAD) for 5. Went next to Intel for design and stayed for 12 years. Made some of the patterns for Pentium, Itanium, Xeon, and Celeron as well as chips for cellulars, including the I-phone. Now doing layout at company in Arizona. TTI worked out well for me, and I worked hard at it. I'm hoping that it is still a great place to learn. We placed 95 percent of our class. Sometimes, in a career, you take turns and new avenues, like I did. TTI did not have a courses in layout design, but the fundamentals made it possible to break into this field. I was there when the design arts program was just starting and I had no opportunity to see what it was about or talk to students or staff there. Looks like the school has moved again since I left.
