2019 Workshop on Electronic Design Automation in Hsinchu Taiwan

The Cadence Academic Network has been supporting the Workshop on Electronic Design Automation (EDA) in Taiwan since 2016. This year the event was hosted by National Tsing Hua University in Hsinchu on December 7-8, 2019.  

This year the workshop attracted over 140 students and 30 professors to participate.  This event helped the students to learn more about the EDA industry and gave them a chance to talk with industry experts face to face.  It also provided a unique opportunity for EDA users to share their research practices and created a platform for professors from top tier EDA universities in Taiwan to exchange opinions, thoughts, and ideas related to the EDA field.

During the event, a Cadence Taiwan AE Group Director introduced Cadence’s new corporate strategy through a great talk on “Leading Intelligent System Design and Innovation.” He also spoke about Cadence Culture, Great Place to Work recognitions and the job opportunities for university students.

The Ministry of Education of the Republic of China (Taiwan) recognized Cadence’s contribution in cultivating the EDA research environment in Taiwan and awarded us with a Certificate of Appreciation. The Cadence Taiwan R&D team was actively involved in the 2019 CAD Contest and had the honor of awarding the winners of the contest!

With strong support from Cadence Marketing and the HR team, we hosted a hiring booth, which gave students an opportunity to approach Cadence and talk about what it’s like working at Cadence. We look forward to attracting more talent to choose EDA as their career direction after graduation.

This workshop on EDA demonstrated Cadence Academic Network’s mission to further strengthen our connections with Taiwan academia.
