Develop specialized skills in integrated circuit design and semiconductor engineering. By completing four courses in the VLSI Engineering concentration, you'll gain practical knowledge of digital and analog design techniques while building the expertise needed for careers in chip design and the semiconductor industry.
Choose ANY 4 courses in from this topic:
You'll explore ASIC, semiconductor, EDA, device, and integrated circuits. In our VLSI lab, our instructors will give you the opportunity to get hands-on experience with hardware specification, logic design, verification, synthesis, physical implementation, circuit design, integrated circuit product testing, and the latest EDA tools on Linux.
Track 1: Front-end Design
For professionals pursuing careers in application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) architectural definitions and logic designs for its implementation.
Track 2: Back-end Design
For professionals interested in the physical implementations of ASIC designs from synthesis to silicon.
Once you have completed ANY 4 courses from the above topics and your final grades are posted, submit your completion fee through the Student Portal to begin the concentration review process. Allow 5–8 weeks to receive your concentration certificate.
