This program is specifically designed as a part of India’s Semiconductor Mission to promote scaling up of an ecosystem for semiconductors.
Manipal Institute of Technology, a constituent engineering school under Manipal Academy of Higher Education has announced the launch of a new four-year undergraduate program in Electronics Engineering (VLSI Design & Technology), B.Tech. This course was started in collaboration with Semi-conductor Laboratory and Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering (E&C Engineering).
By signing MoUs and strategic alliances with illustrious institutes including Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL), Ministry of Electronics & Information technology (MeitY) and Applied Materials, USA, the department will now be able to offer its undergraduates unmatched opportunities for growth and development including exposure to advanced technology and industry standards of excellence.
On the launch of the new course, Cdr (Dr) Anil Rana, Director, MIT Manipal said, “The B.Tech in Electronics Engineering (VLSI Design & Technology) program is designed to provide students with the theoretical and practical skills required to excel in the fast-paced and ever-changing field of electronics. Through this program, students will not only gain knowledge, but will also gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology, enabling them to excel in their future careers. Will be able to
The event has been specially curated as a part of India’s Semiconductor Mission to foster the development and scaling up of an ecosystem for semiconductors and address the skill gap across all segments of the industry. Several topics are covered in the course curriculum, including digital electronics, VLSI design and testing, analog and mixed-signal circuits, training using industry-standard EDA tools, and more.
Cadence, Xilinx, Spice Simulation, FPGA Kits, and COMSOL are some of the sophisticated simulation technologies that the department is fully equipped to provide comprehensive training to the students.
“The semiconductor industry, in particular, is expected to require 20,000 qualified professionals by 2025 and our program aims to bridge this gap by providing students with the right skills to work in this thriving industry,” said Rana.
