VIVACELL-MTS AND SYNOPSYS ARMENIA CONTINUE SUCCESSFUL COOPERATION WITH EUROPEAN REGIONAL ACADEMY
YEREVAN, September 11. / ARKA /. VivaCell-MTS and the European Regional
Academy (ERA) announced today the opening of the new 4th educational
lab at ERA, in frames of the joint educational program of Synopsys
Armenia, VivaCell-MTS and ERA.
Three years ago the parties took the first steps in order to
implement what was envisioned under the trilateral agreement on the
establishment of joint educational program aimed at preparation of
ICT specialists. In the past four years, VivaCell-MTS invested 108.8
million AMD in total for the establishment of four educational labs.
Synopsys Armenia granted comprehensive educational packages of
Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software. In frames of the project
Synopsys also provided educational resources such as customized
curricula, educational design kits (EDKs) and interoperable design
kits (iPDKs) for 90-nanometer (nm) and 32/28-nm technologies. These
kits enable state-of-the-art IC design in an educational environment.
"VivaCell-MTS looks at the future with the eyes of the young
generation. We see what our youngsters expect and we help them reach
their goals. Education is the main and proper tool for a fruitful
sustainable growth, and we have consistently and continuously backed
up all forms of educations and relevant programs and we will keep on
doing so. The healthier our education is the brighter our future will
be," noted VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian.
Using a successful and proven educational model of cooperation,
the program makes it possible to provide Armenia's labor market
with industry-ready graduates, who have the required knowledge and
practical skills to quickly become productive in the industry.
According to the educational model by Synopsys Armenia, after acquiring
a basic education in the 2nd year of Bachelor program, top-performing
students are selected to participate in the program.
The selection of students is made by leading Synopsys and VivaCell-MTS
technical experts and first-rate professors of the Academy. This
is the second year that bachelor students with specialization
in "Micro-Electronic Circuitry and Systems of the Communication
Facilities" graduate from the ERA. The best undergraduate students
now have an opportunity to continue their education pursuing master's
degree.
"This program is a successful example of a trilateral cooperation for
the preparation of professionals with state of the art knowledge and
skills in Information Technologies and Telecommunications' sphere",
Synopsys Armenia director Hovik Musayelyan said. "The availability
of high quality and up-to-date professionals is one of the main
prerequisites for the development of the ICT in Armenia."
"The cooperation between Synopsys and ERA is developing and enlarging
continuously", said Vazgen Melikyan, an honorable scientist of RA,
the director of the Synopsys Armenia Educational Department and
head of ERA's Microelectronic Circuits and Systems of Communication
Facilities Chair. "To keep the program up to date, we constantly adjust
the curriculum and infrastructures to address current industry needs
and requirements."
"The unique initiative which is the result of University - business
cooperation gives an incredible opportunity to the students of ERA to
improve their professional knowledge, to earn practical skills during
the years of study, become competitive in the constantly changing
sphere of Microelectronic circuits and systems of Telecommunications",
- says Arman Avagyan, the ERA rector.
Owing to VivaCell-MTS financial support, the laboratory premise will
be adapted to educational needs and standards and will be equipped
with computers. VivaCell-MTS financial support will also cover the
salaries and other remuneration of instructors. -0-
