The VLSI Design & Test Seminar Series
seeks to provide an open forum for various faculty, graduate and undergraduate students with research and development efforts in the area of design and test of VLSI systems, including application specific and programmable circuits in digital, analog, and mixed-signal microsystems. The goal is to promote further learning, discussion, and teamwork along with the conception and development of exciting new ideas.
The seminar series counts as a 1-credit course ELEC7950 (which may be repeated for up to 3 credits).

This seminar series sponsored by:
