CSM Kicks Off AI Hardware Design League for Students to Explore Semiconductor Manufacturing Career Opportunities

The Artificial Intelligence Hardware Design League (AI-HDL) has launched its inaugural interdisciplinary competition, opening doors for students with little or no experience in chip design.
The initiative provides students with hands-on experience in semiconductor hardware design, leveraging AI tools to streamline traditionally complex tasks in the design process.
Co-sponsored by the Center for Semiconductor Manufacturing, the Institute for Computation & Data-Enabled Insight, the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, and industry leaders Arm and Efabless Corporation, the program addresses the growing global demand for microchips while preparing students for a rapidly evolving technology landscape. This effort highlights the University of Arizona's commitment to innovation and workforce development, meeting critical needs in advanced technology sectors.
