The introduction of the new B.Tech in Electronics Engineering (VLSI Design and Technology) programme is a testament to the institute’s forward-looking approach and its efforts to keep pace with the rapidly-evolving landscape of the tech industry.
Collaborating with top-tier institutions such as the Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL), the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), and Applied Materials, United States, underscores MIT’s commitment to fostering innovation, promoting research, and providing students with unparalleled opportunities to excel in their chosen field. With this new programme, MIT is poised to be a leader in shaping the future of the electronics industry by producing skilled professionals equipped with the latest knowledge and expertise.
Cdr (Dr) Anil Rana, Director of MIT Manipal, has reiterated the institute’s commitment to providing its students with a holistic educational experience that blends theoretical knowledge with practical skills. With the launch of the B.Tech in Electronics Engineering (VLSI Design and Technology) programme, the institute is poised to offer students a comprehensive curriculum that prepares them to thrive in the dynamic and challenging field of electronics.
Dr Rana’s emphasis on hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology underscores the institute’s focus on ensuring that its students are equipped with the latest tools and techniques required to succeed in today’s fast-paced industry. This new programme is a testament to MIT Manipal’s commitment to providing a world-class education that prepares its graduates to meet the demands of the global workforce and make significant contributions to the field of electronics.
The B.Tech in Electronics Engineering (VLSI Design and Technology) programme is aligned with India’s ambitious Semiconductor Mission, which aims to establish a thriving semiconductor industry in the country by promoting the development of an ecosystem for semiconductors and eliminating the skills gap across all sectors of the industry. As a result, this new programme is uniquely positioned to equip students with the skills and knowledge required to succeed in this critical and rapidly growing field.
The curriculum of the programme is designed to be comprehensive and well-rounded, covering a wide range of topics, including digital electronics, VLSI design and testing, analogue and mixed-signal circuits, and more. The hands-on training provided using industry-standard EDA tools will prepare students to work with the latest technology and industry standards, making them valuable assets to potential employers. The launch of this new programme underscores MIT Manipal’s commitment to innovation and excellence in education and its dedication to producing graduates who are prepared to make significant contributions to the field of electronics.
MIT Manipal’s Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering is equipped with a wide range of sophisticated simulation technologies that are designed to provide students with comprehensive training in the latest tools and techniques used in the electronics industry. These tools include Cadence, Xilinx, Spice Simulation, FPGA kits, and COMSOL, among others.
By providing students with access to cutting-edge simulation technologies, the department is ensuring that they have the skills and knowledge required to excel in their future careers. The hands-on experience provided through the use of these tools will enable students to develop a deep understanding of the underlying concepts and principles of electronics, preparing them to tackle real-world challenges in a rapidly-evolving industry.
The investment in these advanced simulation technologies underscores MIT Manipal’s commitment to providing its students with a world-class education that prepares them to be leaders in their field. With these tools at their disposal, students can gain a competitive edge in the job market and make significant contributions to the electronics industry.
“The semiconductor industry, in particular, is expected to require 20,000 qualified professionals by 2025 and ourprogramme aims to close this gap by providing students with the right competencies to work in this thriving industry,” said Rana.
