On July 3, 2024, The University of Danang - University of Technology and Education (UD-UTE) held the Closing Ceremony of the Basic Circuit Design Training Course on FPGA technology (Front-End).

This was a training course organized by the UD-UTE in collaboration with the National Innovation Center (NIC), The Asia Foundation and Acronics Company Limited.

Assoc.Prof.Dr.Phan Cao Tho – Rector of UD-UTE awarded Certificates to excellent students

According to Assoc.Prof.Dr. Phan Cao Tho – Rector of UD-UTE, this was an important result, with a premise for UD-UTE to carry out its mission of training human resources to contribute to the development of the semiconductor industry.

The UD-UTE's leadership representative acknowledged, appreciated and thanked partners such as NIC Center, Asia Foundation and Acronics Co.Ltd. for accompanying and supporting UD-UTE in organizing this Training Course.

Mr. Do Tien Thinh - Deputy Director of NIC Center

awarded Certificates to students who completed the course

The training course was implemented over 3 months (March 8 to June 20, 2024) with a total of 35 sessions with the participation of 30 students who are lecturers and final year students of universities in Da Nang city, including member universities of UD (UD-UTE; UD-University of Science and Technology; UD - Vietnam-Korea University of Information and Communication Technology).

Mr. Le Hoang Phuc - Director of the Da Nang Semiconductor and Artificial Intelligence Center for Research and Training awarded Certificates to students who completed the course

According to Mr. Nguyen Trong Tuan - Lecturer of the Training Course, in addition to basic theoretical lessons on knowledge of microchip design (based on FPGA technology) and integrated development into complete products, students also practice directly on modern circuit boards, thereby having enough capacity and skills to analyze basic algorithms, deploy them into hardware models and use Verilog/VHDL language to develop specific microchips on FPGA.

Rector Phan Cao Tho spoke

This was the foundation for graduates to continue to retrain and foster semiconductor knowledge for students, meeting the human resource needs of businesses in the context of integration, deeply participating in the global production network and supply chain.

According to Mr. Do Tien Thinh - Deputy Director of NIC Center, the opportunity to develop human resources for microchip design in the near future is very large. In the past year alone, a series of leading prestigious corporations such as Intel or Amkor have paid attention to Vietnam to survey, invest and develop the field of semiconductor design and production.

The training course provided useful, practical knowledge and skills for students

At the Closing Ceremony, the Organizing Committee awarded Certificates of Completion to 26 students, including 4 students who were commended: Nguyen Linh Nam, Phan Ngoc Ky, Phan Thi Lan Anh and Huynh Van Thoi.

According to Mr. Le Hoang Phuc - Director of Da Nang Semiconductor and Artificial Intelligence Center for Research and Training, this is a training model that the city highly appreciates because of its usefulness and practicality for reference and replication in the coming time.

A positive and promising first step to demonstrate

the core role in training semiconductor human resources

The city currently has policies to support the development of the semiconductor industry, focusing on supporting technical infrastructure, supporting loans for businesses, granting scholarships to students, including attracting experts to train semiconductors for lecturers, students/ trainees.

These signals are positive and promising signs for the future development of human resource training in particular, contributing to the development of the semiconductor industry in general for Da Nang city.
