/EINPresswire.com/ -- UCI Division of Continuing Education (DCE) announces their platinum sponsorship of the 14th annual International System-on-Chip (SoC) Conference (SoC) which will be held at University of California, Irvine at the Calit2 Building on Oct. 19-20. Hosted by Savant Company, Inc, this conference is one of the premier events for the engineering community devoted to chip design and development. The theme for this year's conference is "Smart SoCs for a Smart World."

"Each year, the annual International System-on-Chip (SoC) Conference continues to impress attendees due to the vast amount of intellectual knowledge and business ingenuity present," said Dr. Dave Dimas, director of UC Irvine Division of Continuing Education's engineering, sciences and information technology programs. "With highly-credited industry leaders and academia gathered from around the world, who provide their vital and informative insights on the embedded systems field, these two days are exceptionally content packed and serves to be very beneficial for professionals in the field."

The International SoC Conference provides an outstanding platform for sharing and disseminating ground-breaking research, innovative product announcements, and informative technical tutorials, and it has established itself as the forum for debating emerging challenges and possibilities in the System-on-Chip field. Each targeted conference fosters collaboration among industry experts and academia in an effort to present the most up-to-date and advanced topics in chip design (Analog, Mixed-Signal, SoC, ASIC, ASSP, FPGA, EDA, IP, Memory Technology, Security, Foundry Services, 3D-ICs, SOI, CMOS, Embedded Systems, NoC, IOs, IPs, CPU/DSP/GPU Cores, Signal Integrity, Design for Testability, Design Verification, Design for Manufacturability, Variation-Aware Methodologies, etc.) to the highly technical audience.

"We are pleased to have the UC Irvine Division of Continuing Education continue their participation as a platinum sponsor again this year," said Farhad Mafie, International SoC Conference Chairman. "With a strong emphasis on meeting the needs of busy professionals, the industry-leading Embedded Systems Engineering Certificate Program at UC Irvine Division of Continuing Education provides the much needed educational background along with relevant technical information for professionals to succeed in this industry."

The conference tabletop exhibit, which is free to visit, is held on Wednesday, Oct. 19, from 2:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. It provides an outstanding forum for engineering communities to meet face-to-face with experts presenting at this event, as well as with experts from the exhibiting companies, and discuss their complex SoC-related questions.

UC Irvine Division of Continuing Education's online certificate program in Embedded Systems Engineering examines the synergistic function between hardware and software device design and development. Participants learn the essential concepts of embedded systems development through a practical hands-on approach utilizing industry design automation (EDA) tools and design kits.
