- Post Presentation: Presented to the seminar “VLSI Education & Research – The Present Perspective” at Purabi Das School of Information Technology, Bengal Engineering & Science University, Kolkata on the occasion of the inauguration of Ganapati Sengupta VLSI Laboratory on May 13, 2005. Dignitaries present included Prof. N Banerjee, VC of BESU, Prof. Barat, Prof. Hafizur Rahaman, Prof. Biplab Sikdar, Prof. P Pal Chausdhuri, Prof. Indranil Sengupta, Prof. Bhargab Bhattacharya, Prof. Susanta Sen and Mr. Ashish Auddy. Besides there were about 40-50 other teachers and students.
- Post Presentation: Prof. Pal Chaudhuri felt this was a motivated comment.
- Post Presentation: Some were upset with cost advantage as the first and foremost reason. Patriotically they felt, “Indian were just better”. Good to see such pride – I also wish this were true. For many, service attitude angle was a new idea.
- Post Presentation: Explained that VLSI business has started moving to Russia and Armenia.
- Post Presentation: Had a quick run-through on SMDP. Most people were already aware.
- Post Presentation: Most people found it difficult to believe these projections. We need to figure out (possibly publish) a report with some detailed analysis of where these high numbers are coming from.
- There were questions on what VSI sees as “Talent in VLSI” and we came up with this list jointly.
- Post Presentation: Some of the senior professors wanted to rank Research above Pool Generation. I defended that both are important and the quantity is needed in the industry to support quality.
- On March 12, 2005, we had a 2.5-hr debate on the topic of talent generation at the VSI Workshop on VLSI Education at Jaipur. I gave a background on the survey we are conducting – one survey has gone out to educational departments and another has gone out to industry. We are also doing an electronic poll.
- There was some heated debate on what universities can do in this direction and several people asked what “industry ready” means. I took a shot on what “industry ready” means for the industry. An interesting item that came from a Professor from Cochin. He said – up to class 12, they are in a competition mode and it is not easy to turn them to “cooperative” mode.
- Post Presentation: Explaining “Industry-Ready” concept to an academic crowd is a challenge. For example, someone asked what are soft skills and why should they be needed? After the talk one professor even commented that academia should not get into these nitty-gritty and rather focus on learning theory. I think VSI need to take a focused initiative to educate our friends in academia about “Industry-Readiness”.
- Post Presentation: Teacher wanted to understand how can they learn of the Design Flow. There is good source. I agree that this is a challenge. Possibly ISA’s UGI kind of initiative can quench that.
- We had an open debate and other than 2 Professors, everyone else took the “agree” stand. We tried to identify the reasons.
- We had an open debate and other than 2 Professors, everyone else took the “agree” stand. We tried to identify the reasons.
- Post Presentation: I explained that this is a sample – I am not showcasing the specific initiative. Expectedly, people wants to see more of such initiatives.
- Post Presentation: Again this was presented as an example of change.
- Post Presentation: There were questions on VSI and how can it help students. We need to give better shape and projection to whatever VSI does / plans.
- Post Presentation: This was information to most. There was very high interest to know what’s really going on.
- Post Presentation: Overall we spent about 30 minutes on UGI and there were number of queries from various quarters. I saw a high level of interest and expectation from the participants on this UGI program. We’ll need to keep this mind as and when we launch this.
- Post Presentation: The universities that have some industry EDA tools felt that it is rather tough to keep the tools up and running. Support loops with companies are usually long. They would like to see some support infrastructure & initiative from ISA-UGI on this.
- Post Presentation: Many universities present wanted to know of the memberships – how to start and when? I have advised them to keep an eye on the website.
- Post Presentation: Thank you.
