Research

The MiNE Research Group actively utilizes Cadence tools in both research and teaching domains. Our scientific efforts are centered on the development of innovative analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits, power management systems, and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). These projects not only contribute to technological advancements but also lead to high-impact publications in reputable scientific journals.

Teaching

Cadence tools are extensively integrated into laboratory sessions across various undergraduate courses, particularly in areas such as:

  • Analog Integrated Circuit Design
  • IC Design and Processes

These hands-on experiences enhance students’ technical competencies and prepare them for real-world challenges in the semiconductor and electronics industries.

Professional Certificate

This certification course (Certificate of Cadence Virtuoso Schematic Editor ) equips students with essential knowledge and practical skills through structured training modules and industry-recognized badge examinations certified by Cadence. The certification enhances graduates' employability and provides a competitive edge in the job market, particularly in the semiconductor and electronics industries.

Designed to complement academic programs, the course delivers practical, TVET-themed (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) content that reinforces both conceptual understanding and hands-on expertise. This initiative plays a critical role in building a high-tech Malaysian workforce capable of driving innovation and maintaining competitiveness in the global semiconductor landscape.
