VLSI Workshop - From Gates to Chips

Have you ever wondered how computer chips are made? IEEE@UCI, in collaboration with IEEE Region 9 and IEEE’s Electron Devices Society, will host a two-day workshop that will teach you the magic behind Very Large Scale Design (VLSI) used to manufacture chips. This workshop packs ICS 6B, EECS 31, EECS 31L, and external open source tools into two days. Participate in the workshop, and you could see your own chip design come to life – we've got you covered if your design is selected! Sign ups are limited, so RSVP as soon as you can!

Date: January 3rd @ 5:00PM-6:30PM
