The Design Automation Conference (DAC), the electronic design automation (EDA) industry's premier event, together with several sponsoring societies, is awarding more than $165,000 in professional development funds, to students and professionals in the EDA field. These funds, which bring the total amount awarded during the past 11 years to more than $3.4 million, were presented at the 42nd DAC, 13-17 June, at the Anaheim Convention Centre.
The DAC Professional Development Fund supports a range of programs, including the Engineering Scholarship Program, the P. O. Pistilli ACSEE Scholarship Program, the University Booth Program, the Young Student Support Program, the DAC Graduate Scholarships and the Student Design Contest. DAC also supports the Workshop for Women in Design Automation, the Integrated Design Systems Workshop, and the ACM/ Special Interest Group on Design Automation (SIGDA) PhD Forum.
The DAC Graduate Scholarships program will award $48,000 in scholarships to support graduate research and study in electronic design automation and circuit design to support graduate students of faculty investigators at universities trying to establish new programs in electronic design automation or circuit design and/or graduate students of young faculty investigators (assistant rank, non-tenured) working in EDA or circuit design.
