I have been working for 16 years in the field of research and development in microelectronics, and I can confidently say that it is one of the most challenging areas in engineering. I constantly have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies, which is extremely rewarding. This training represents a unique opportunity for those who wish to enter the field, as it includes both theoretical and practical lessons, using state-of-the-art tools for integrated circuit design and development. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the necessary experience to stand out in the top companies in the sector. Considering the labor shortage and the anticipated growth in the field, graduates will certainly find numerous job opportunities, both in Brazil and in developed countries such as those in Europe and the United States. Thus, students will have the chance to advance their careers and, very likely, improve their quality of life.

We are living in a time when it is becoming increasingly difficult to think of equipment or products that are not digitally controlled or monitored. Automobiles, agricultural machinery, household appliances, and others are already part of the digital world. Homes, buildings, industries, and businesses are being automated. With the Internet of Things and edge computing—i.e., processing performed by the remote device itself—there is a significant demand for digital circuits and, consequently, a tremendous demand for designers. Through this training, students[...] Continue reading

The implementation of the CI Digital Program represents a significant advancement for the state of Maranhão and the State University of Maranhão (UEMA), which will offer its first course in this format. For the state, the course strengthens the qualification of the local workforce, contributing to the creation of opportunities and economic development. For UEMA, this initiative positions the university as a regional reference in technology, opening new academic and professional possibilities in the field of microelectronics.

Microelectronics has grown significantly worldwide, with an average growth rate of 16% over the past decades, compared to just 4% for the overall economy. This reality is rooted in the fact that microelectronics has become a crucial element for the technology industry, which has been relentlessly working towards the miniaturization of a wide variety of devices across all areas of application. In previous decades, the world witnessed the expansion of this industry, focusing primarily on manufacturing, which distanced some non-manufacturing[...] Continue reading
