Increase knowledge and skills in Chip Design, ready for a career in the semiconductor sector.
The Semiconductor Skills Development Course will enable participants to take a chip design through the design flow, to the point where it is ready for fabrication.
Aspiring semiconductor engineers and university lecturers will be able to participate in the Semiconductor Skills Development Course, which will take place as a residential course and as online training.
The UKESF are delighted to partner with the University of Sheffield and the National Microelectronics Support Centre, STFC, on the Semiconductor Skills Development Course. We will also be collaborating with industry training provider Doulos to deliver the e-learning course.
Courses
Essential Digital Design Techniques, Online, 1-22 September
Build on the robust theoretical knowledge you’ve gained at university to develop the practical skills and expertise needed by the semiconductor sector.
This course, trusted by leading employers in the sector, will prepare you to hit the ground running as a graduate design engineer or early career engineer in digital design. If you are a lecturer, it will orient you to industry-standard EDA tools, and support your teaching in chip design.
To be eligible, you must be:
- a lecturer in, or interested in expanding into, chip design at a UK university
- a 3rd, 4th (or 5th in Scotland) or placement year MEng undergraduate or postgraduate from a UK university
