Venture Development Corporation (VDC), an independent technology research firm, is conducting research on ESL (Electronic System Level) design and trying to understand key industry trends. In return for taking their survey, VDC will be providing a summary of the results and enter you into their prize drawing.

The survey covers embedded hardware, system, and software engineering and VDC is looking for feedback from developers with recent experience in any of these areas. No experience with ESL design is required.

In appreciation of your participation, VDC will provide all respondents who complete the survey:
- A summary of the survey findings, and
- A chance to win one of three $100 Amazon.com gift certificates (drawing to be held April 25th, 2007).
