New Delhi: Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Delhi has launched the first ever Electronics and VLSI Engineering (EVE) Electronics Engineering degree in the EE+X format BTech Degree. The EE in EE+X stands for Electronics Engineering, while the "X" represents a complementary discipline of expertise or technology.
This is in addition to the Electronics and Communication Engineering programme that currently exists. As per IIIT Delhi, the curriculum for the EVE Programme is developed following extensive consultation with industry professionals and academics.
It will equip students for employment in industry, graduate school for research careers, and innovative and problem-solving entrepreneurial ventures. The EVE curriculum strikes a compromise between a predetermined set of VLSI-specific core courses and the option to choose electives according to individual interest and need.
Students enrolling in the EVE programme would be required to take only two more required courses than ECE students, and electives will be available across five career routes in the VLSI industry and academia.
Electronic components are ubiquitous in our everyday lives. Economically and strategically, our nation requires the ability to design and manufacture electronic components on its own.
In response, the government, industry, and academic institutions have collaborated to develop an ecosystem that allows the Indian semiconductor industry to thrive and meet these demands.
Anuj Grover, an associate professor in the ECE department at the institute says, “In the semiconductor business, the United States faces a serious scarcity of qualified labour. India requires more than 85,000 VLSI engineers within the next few years to realise its ambition of becoming more self-sufficient.”
He continued, “ The AICTE issued a notification in April 2022 urging institutes to launch UG programmes in VLSI design and technology. IIIT Delhi is also investigating ways to expose EVE students to semiconductor fabrication (manufacturing) and is proposing to establish a fabrication facility or forge relationships with existing facilities in the region.”
“This exposure would further separate our students from other institutions' graduates,” He stated.
