Among the reasons to go to university are the opportunities to open new career paths by learning new technical skills, as well as socializing with other students. Attendees of the upcoming Design Automation Conference (DAC) in San Francisco from December 6–8, will get to do both. We invite you to take your knowledge to new heights with Siemens EDA Static & Formal Verification University, where verification experts will present on a wide variety of topics and hold office hours. There will also be faculty-student socials throughout the conference.

Here are the classes you can take:
