Fall 2003   5th Annual

AMD/Rice University

 VLSI Design Contest

 

 

AMD is looking for a few good engineers to help us build the world’s highest-performance microprocessors.  Rice University’s ELEC422 VLSI Design Course is a great step in enabling you to become the engineer we are looking for.

 

For the fifth consecutive year, AMD is working with the ECE department to sponsor a VLSI Design Contest that will allow you to show off the engineering talents you’ve been developing and polishing over the past few years.  This is your chance to show what you can do!

 

The rules are simple: come up with a creative VLSI project, design it, build it, and test it.  The contest will be judged by Dr. Cavallaro and by AMD representatives.  The winners will be determined based upon the creativity and complexity of the project, the attributes of the design implementation, and the degree of successful testing performed.

 

Prizes for the top groups will consist of AMD Athlon line processors and gift certificates at a computer superstore.

 

What are you waiting for?  Get busy learning VLSI design techniques so you can win the 5th Annual AMD/Rice University VLSI Design Contest!
