Core Module

  Review of core VLSI and Digital Design subjects covered in Engineering courses. Students get the opportunity to gain hands on experience using EDA tools to solve design problems in this phase.

Advanced Modules

Building upon phase I this phase introduces students to advanced topics in ASIC and FPGA design, beyond what is normally covered in most regular UG, PG programs. Emphasis is on applying concepts to solve design problems by working on our proprietary designs.

Live Project

Each student takes ownership of a block and is accountable for meeting deadlines, and working with other members in the design team. Students will participate in design reviews and receive regular feedback. Upon successful completion of projects diploma certificate will be awarded. During this phase our faculty take the role of design managers just as in any VLSI company and work with you to hone in your design and soft skills.
