“The level of knowledge among the participants of the Olympiad in microelectronics grows consistently year by year which proves that the Olympiad serves its main purpose,” Prof. Vazgen Melikyan, the President of the Olympiad Program Committee and the Director of “Synopsys Armenia” Education Department, Chairman of the “Microelectronic Schemes and Systems” at the Armenian National Polytechnic University, said.
The Annual International Microelectronics Olympiad started in 2006 by “Synopsys Armenia”. “Synopsys” is committed to contribute in programs aimed at advancing the microelectronics education,” said “Synopsys” Fellow and “Synopsys Armenia” President Dr. Yervand Zorian. “Such contests and Olympiads help to identify the level of knowledge of participants in microelectronics in order to make the necessary adjustments to regional educational programs and curricula.”
The Annual International Microelectronics Olympiad is held in cooperation with the Technical Council for Test Technologies (IEEE tttc) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the world’s largest technical professional organization. It is noteworthy that “Synopsys” Fellow and Chief Architect Dr. Yervand Zorian received the IEEE TTTC Lifetime Contribution Medal on 27 September 2022 at the opening plenary session of the 53rd International Test Conference (ITC) for his outstanding contribution in advancing microelectronics education.
