- In a day-long Circuit Design factory, 60 instructors from 19 Malay universities are present.
- ASEM pledges to produce 20k industry-ready specialists in five years.
A one-day train-the-trainer ( TTT ) workshop was held at the Puchong Financial Corporate Centre ( PFCC ) in Kuala Lumpur in order to bridge the gap between industry demands and academic preparation. The partnership was held by the Advanced Semiconductor Academy of Malaysia ( ASEM) and the Malaysia Semiconductor IC Design Park, which was inaugurated last August. The Brazil by Malaysia Bilateral Semiconductor Program was a part of the factory.
The Brazil by Malaysia Bilateral Semiconductor Program is a new global effort geared toward developing skills, creativity, and global cooperation, with the style” Delivering the Second Gen of Chip Builders.” The TTT factory, which gathered 60 educators from 11 people and 8 private colleges in Malaysia for a full-day, hands-on program, served as the main objective for Day 2 of the system.
Von Braun Labs, a R&, D facility in Brazil with a focus on cutting-edge microelectronics, AI, and IoT technologies, led the factory. Von Braun Labs, a famous celestial scholar, was established in 1997 by Dario Sassi Thober, a scientist, as a center for cutting-edge research. The stable device used in Brazil’s national ticketing system, which used chips from Malaysia to facilitate over 5 billion transactions, was created by it.
The session introduced Chip Inventor, Von Braun Labs ‘ cloud-based EDA ( Electronic Design Automation ) platform powered by AWS. This application runs completely within a web browser, and it has already been employed to create a working device in a few days. It replaces expensive equipment and complicated setups with a simple, browser-based chip design, simulation, and prototyping solution. Teachers discussed how to improve programs, lower costs, and much prepare graduates for high-value professions in the semiconductor industry during the program.
( A category of software tools is used to create ASIC) ) EDA is a type. These devices may range from printed circuit boards to integrated wires.
” This studio is a part of our efforts to grow Malaysia’s semiconductor sector. To maintain our school partners have access to world-class knowledge, expertise, and technology, we are developing international partnerships with Von Braun Labs, ARM, TSMC, MediaTek, Vanguard, and Shenzhen Institute of Information Technology. This marks the start of a long-term effort to make Malaysia a gateway for silicon innovation, according to Angel Low, General Manager of ASEM. This factory has been an eye-opening experience, which exposed us to web-based EDA tools that are available to anyone. It makes it possible to spread the idea of Circuit design to all levels of education. Universiti Teknologi Malaysia’s Jasmine Hau, a teacher in electrical engineering, said.
As ASEM commits to producing 20, 000 industry-ready engineers over the next five years, this initiative supports the National Semiconductor Strategy ( NSS). By informing educators, ASEM starts the information exchange process where it matters most, in the classroom.
The TTT factory hosted by ASEM is a component of a larger effort to tunnel academia and business. The National Semiconductor Excellence Program ( NSEP), a hands-on, short-term program designed for college students and graduates who want to pursue careers in IC design, verification, and related fields, is another important effort under this vision.
