'Based on this experience we are planning to co-operate with other universities in Russia to help them deploying this programme'.
Spencer Clark, Vice President and Chief Learning Officer at Cadence, added: 'The success of this project reinforces our original intention to enrich educational programmes in Russia'.
'Cadence and our customers have employed highly skilled graduates from the scheme, and as a further testimony to the project's success, the master's programme is now self-supporting for continued development of talent'.
The curriculum of the technical courses at MIET are available for educational use at no charge from the Cadence online repository.
Cadence also recently revealed that its technologies and VCAD services were selected by MIET within its IRIS project (Inspire the Russian Innovation System), to help rebuild the Russian electronics industry and facilitate local companies' access to the global industry.
