Cadence is accelerating innovation by providing the tools and training needed for students to actively contribute to the Semiconductor industry. In line with the CHIPs Act, we have been supporting faculty, students, and design teams to develop the future workforce and cultivate the next generation of innovators. We’re enabling engineers to design intelligent systems with Cadence tools – from hydrofoils for boats to automobiles like the McLaren F1.
