The VTU-VSI-ISA confluence meeting provides a forum for faculty, students, and the semiconductor industry to come together. A memorandum of understanding was signed in August 2005 between the Visvesvaraya Technological University, the VLSI Society of India, and the India Semiconductor Association.

 

The intention of the MoU is to strengthen the bonds between VTU and the semiconductor industries in India. VTU represents a conglomeration of over 250 engineering colleges and gives the semiconductor industry a great opportunity to get involved with the academia, provide inputs in improving the curriculum, delivering seminars, teaching courses, and so on. The following colleges have been identified under this MoU to engage in academia-industry interaction, based on the M.Tech programs they have in microelectronics or allied areas:

 

·          BMS College of Engineering, Bangalore

·          BVB Engineering College, Hubli

·          VTU, Belgaum

·          SJCE, Mysore

·          UTL Extension Centre, Bangalore

·          KLE, Belgaum

·          RV College of Engineering, Bangalore

 

Several meaningful meetings have been held among faculty champions and industrial representatives to give shape to the activities under the MoU.
