Semiconductor training, research boosted in HCMC

The VietNam National University, Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM) and US technology enterprise, Synopsys signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on March 15 to enhance the VNU-HCM’s semiconductor training and research capacity.
Among the five cooperation areas under the MoU, Synopsys, one of the world’s leading electronic design automation (EDA) companies, will share training textbooks and license the use of chip design tools and software for VNU-HCM students.
It will receive students for internships and introduce job opportunities at domestic and foreign businesses for semiconductor engineers graduating from the school. The US enterprise will assist the VNU-HCM in training young lecturers in semiconductor design via a short course named “Train-the-Trainer”.
