The IEEE UAP Student Branch , in collaboration with Ulkasemi Limited, organized a seminar titled โ๐๐๐ฆ๐ข๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ & ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ง: ๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ, ๐๐๐๐ก๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ญ๐ก๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ฌ" at the University of Asia Pacific - UAP, aimed at giving students a clearer understanding of the semiconductor industry, VLSI design, and the career opportunities awaiting them after graduation.
The program opened with a session introducing the growing relevance of semiconductor technology and connecting academic learning with industry practice.
Four technical segments followed, each led by a ULKASEMI engineer:

An ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐&๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง followed, where all four speakers engaged directly with students.
The program closed with a ๐ญ๐จ๐ค๐๐ง-๐จ๐-๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ceremony, led by IEEE Student Branch convenor ๐๐ฎ๐ก๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐ฆ๐๐ง ๐๐ข๐๐ก, along with faculty members ๐๐. ๐๐ก๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฅ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฆ and ๐๐ซ. ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ซ, followed by a group photography session.
The seminar bridged academic learning and professional reality, encouraging students to build the practical skills and industry exposure they will need going forward.
