“Our university has been using Synopsys tools for about ten years. The industrial standard software provided through the Synopsys University Program has been the key to fulfilling our educational and research objectives”
— Mei KuiZhi, Professor of Microelectronics,
Xi'an Jiaotong University

“Early exposure to Synopsys tools offers excellent opportunities not only for students, but also for educators in efficiently teaching modern design methodologies. We have been actively using Synopsys tools for more than a decade in class and research. I cannot imagine how the high quality of various electronic design classes is maintained without using Synopsys tools."
— Dr. Deog-Kyoon Jeong, Professor of Electrical Engineering,
Seoul National University

“In today’s generation of education programs Synopsys tools have been an excellent instrument in providing in house industrial training for students. We highly appreciate the support given by Synopsys for enabling us to reduce our design and research cycle."
— Yong-Bum Cho, Professor of Electronic Engineering,
Konkuk University

“Engineering students at our university have benefited from using Synopsys tools for many years. The quality of our programs has been significantly enhanced due to support and training made available to our faculty through Synopsys."
— Dr. Benham Arad, Professor of Computer Engineering,
California State University, Sacramento

"For over a decade we have successfully trained a generation of engineers in Digital Systems, VLSI Design, CAD and Embedded Systems using Synopsys tools. We are very grateful to Synopsys for their contribution in helping us fulfill our educational and research objectives at our university."
— Dr. Christos Papachristou, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering,
Case Western Reserve University

"Synopsys tools have been a major boost to our research efforts. We have been able to publish the results in International conferences and journals. Thanks, Synopsys, for everything including your prompt responses to our requests!"

“In 2007 and 2008 the EE Dept of the University of Chile with Synopsys sponsorship organized two successful summer schools where Synopsys tools were used to prepare students for a new electronics era. The support of Synopsys and its commitment for excellence is certainly showing good results in this part of the world.”
— Dr. Nicolas Beltran, Professor of Electrical Engineering,
Universidad de Chile

“The College of Engineering at the Universidad de los Andes is far from the main world markets, and it is very difficult to convey to our students the belief that they can also do things as they are done in the US, Europe or Asia. However, with Synopsys’ tools they have learned that these possibilities are also within their reach.”
— Dr. Pablo Zegers, Professor of Engineering,
Universidad de los Andes
