Mentor enables institute to offer educational opportunities for EEs.WILSONVILLE, OR -- Mentor Graphics Corp. is enabling Silicon Valley Technical Institute (SVTI SVTI Static Virtual Tunnel Interface ) to develop and offer a broad range of continuing education continuing education: see adult education. continuing education or adult education Any form of learning provided for adults. In the U.S. the University of Wisconsin was the first academic institution to offer such programs (1904). courses based on Mentor's tools in the areas of design for manufacturability (DFM DFM Design for Manufacturing (newsletter) DFM Design for Manufacturability DFM Dubai Financial Market DFM Delphi Form (computer filename extension) DFM Distinguished Flying Medal DFM Diesel Fuel Marine ), nanometer IC design, physical verification Physical verification A procedure auditors use to ensure that inventory recorded in the book is correct by actually checking out the physical inventory. and integrated systems design. Working within the strategy of Mentor's Higher Education Program, SVTI has incorporated Mentor tools in courses ranging from nanometer IC design and DFM to design of digital VLSI VLSI: see integrated circuit.

Courses range from one-day workshops to three-month in-class courses that include labs. Initial class sessions have trained over 50 engineering professionals. In addition, SVTI is currently working with Mentor to develop additional training programs based on Mentor tools that support such areas as advanced functional verification and IC layout and verification. "Mentor Graphics tools are deployed in critical design steps and flows addressed by SVTI training programs," said Dr. Ali Iranmanesh, chairman and founder, SVTI. "Mentor Graphics tools enable our students to obtain the sought-after skills needed to be productive and current in today's fast moving electronics industry." |
