Foundation
Malaysia’s rapid growth in the semiconductor and electronics sector has created a rising demand for talent skilled in FPGA-based system design and hardware description languages (HDLs) such as Verilog and VHDL. As industries increasingly adopt digital technologies, the ability to prototype and implement integrated circuit (IC) designs quickly and cost-effectively has become a key competitive advantage. This 20-day intensive course addresses the industry need by equipping participants with both theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills in digital design, IC prototyping, and FPGA systems. Participants will gain experience designing components such as adders, multipliers, finite state machines, and more, using industry-standard tools and methods. These competencies are directly aligned with roles in electronics, embedded systems, and semiconductor design companies.
The course supports national initiatives like the TVET Transformation Agenda and the MyDIGITAL Blueprint, which highlight advanced electronics and chip design as strategic areas for workforce development. It also enables Bumiputera inclusion in high-value technical fields, providing pathways to roles with starting salaries of RM4,000–RM6,000/month and significant growth potential. By developing local expertise in FPGA and HDL, this program helps future-proof Malaysia’s engineering talent, strengthens the E&E ecosystem, and enhances national capabilities in a globally competitive industry.
