The University of Danang - University of Science and Technology (UD-DUT) recently held a closing and certificate presentation ceremony for students who successfully completed the specialized training course, “Digital RTL Design and Verification with SystemVerilog.”

The course forms part of UD-DUT’s ongoing efforts to strengthen high-quality human resource development for Vietnam’s rapidly growing semiconductor and integrated circuit (IC) industry. In parallel with launching its Microelectronics Design program, the University has actively engaged experienced Vietnamese experts working in the United States to support teaching and professional training activities for students in relevant disciplines.

Speaking at the ceremony, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Hong Hai, Vice Rector of UD-DUT, emphasized the University’s commitment to connecting students with international expertise and industry-oriented learning opportunities in emerging technology fields.

Conducted over 15 weeks, the course provided participants with in-depth knowledge and practical skills in digital IC design. The training was delivered by Mr. Tuan Nguyen and Mr. Tai Le, semiconductor professionals with over three decades of experience at leading technology companies—including Micron, Hitachi America, and Avant (now part of Synopsys)—who both graduated from Santa Clara University.

Through a combination of lectures, programming assignments, and hands-on simulation projects, students gained comprehensive exposure to hardware design using SystemVerilog, covering everything from fundamental concepts and syntax to simulation methodologies and synthesizable Register Transfer Level (RTL) design. The training also enhanced their capabilities in hardware description, verification, and the implementation of digital logic systems.

The course attracted students from various engineering programs at UD-DUT, including Computer Engineering, the Vietnam–U.S. Advanced Program in Embedded Systems and Internet of Things (IoT), and the PFIEV Electrical Engineering Program specializing in Industrial Informatics. Participants highlighted the course’s practical relevance and its role in fostering interdisciplinary collaboration among students from different technical backgrounds.

At the ceremony, UD-DUT awarded Certificates of Completion to 23 students who successfully fulfilled the course requirements. Among them, 21 students were granted academic credits in accordance with the University’s regulations.

By offering specialized, short-term training courses delivered by international experts, UD-DUT continues to equip students with industry-relevant competencies while responding to the growing demand for highly skilled talent in the semiconductor sector. This initiative also supports the development of Da Nang’s semiconductor ecosystem and advances the region’s role in Vietnam’s high-tech workforce development strategy.
