EVENT REPORT
IEEE SPS-VLSI VISION Navigating a career in VLSI
Date:12th September 2024
Number of participants:140+
Venue: ECE Auditorium, UCEOU
The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) Student Branch at the Osmania university (OU) recently organized an event called “VLSI VISION-Navigating a career in VLSI” on 12th of September,2024 at the ECE Auditorium. This event saw participation from 120 students across different branches, primarily from the 2nd and 3rd years of their academic programs. This event was open to students from ECE, EEE, BME branches and conducted with No registration fee.
IEEE organised a event focusing on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI), aimed at bringing together students, researchers, and industry professionals to discuss the latest advancements and opportunities in the VLSI domain. The event was a part of the university’s ongoing efforts to promote technical learning and innovation among students interested in signal processing and semiconductor technologies.
The primary objective of the event was to enhance knowledge and provide hands-on exposure to the students about the recent trends and developments in VLSI design, its applications, and the evolving challenges in semiconductor technology. The event also aimed at fostering collaboration between academia and industry in the VLSI sector.
The event featured distinguished guest speaker Pruthwiraj, Senior DV Engineer Pruthwiraj is a Senior Design Verification (DV) Engineer, and he shared his knowledge and experie nce on the intricacies of design verification in VLSI. His talk focused on the growing demand for DV engineers and the necessary skills required to excel in this field.
The event opened with an overview of VLSI technology, its role in modern electronics, and its vast application in designing chips for devices such as smartphones, computers, and more.
The guest speaker Pruthwiraj focused on the critical technical and soft skills necessary for VLSI professionals. He emphasized the importance of mastering industry-standard tools, such as HDL (Hardware Description Language) and CAD software, to excel in this competitive field.
Later, speaker shed light on the career paths available within the VLSI industry, such as verification, design, and development roles. They discussed the growing demand for VLSI engineers globally, and how students could prepare themselves through certifications, internships, and hands-on project work.
The session concluded with an engaging Q&A segment where students asked insightful questions regarding the best tools for VLSI, the future of semiconductor technology, and how to navigate the initial stages of a career in VLSI. The speakers addressed the queries with practical advice and encouragement for the aspiring engineers.
The “VLSI Vision” event, organized by IEEE SPS and OUCE, was a resounding success. It provided participants with an in-depth understanding of VLSI technology and guided them on how to navigate their careers in this dynamic field. Both Priyanka and Pruthwiraj’s expertise and advice were well-received, leaving the attendees motivated to explore opportunities in VLSI design and verification.
