What we’re about
Keep your professional career edge by learning something new.
Our Meetups give you the opportunity to meet with instructors and students so you can learn about all the great professional training we offer here.
Learn practical, high demand skills. We offer 28 professional certificate programs and nearly 400 courses in five distinct areas: Technology, Education, Bioscience, Design, and Business. Visit our beautiful Santa Clara campus building or take online courses. Since we offer open enrollment and new courses start all the time, there's always something new for you. Most of the courses are taught evenings and Saturdays.
International students are welcome and have the opportunity to pursue internships and temporary paid jobs (OPT).
Join us at our regular events to meet instructors and get a sense of the industry and how we prepare you for a successful career.

See all- Semiconductor Workshop: RISC-V: Understanding Computer ArchitectureNeeds location
Welcome to our immersive Semiconductor Design and Innovation workshop series.
This one-day workshop introduces you to a commercial RISC-V system, covering theory, architecture, and technical aspects of the RISC-V ISA. As an open-source, extensible ISA, RISC-V is shaping the future of computing.
Instructor Abhay Singh, a Silicon Operations and Partnerships manager at Google, will guide you through the material and share its real-world implications.Learning Outcomes
At the conclusion of the hybrid workshop, you should be able to:-
Describe and discuss the architecture of RISC-V processors, their fundamental components, and how they compare to other instruction set architectures in modern computing systems.
-
Identify critical hardware and software components within a RISC-V system-on-chip design, including memory interfaces, peripherals, and the toolchain required for development.
-
Demonstrate an ability to properly and effectively design, implement, and debug custom RISC-V-based systems and understanding of the RISC-V industry trend.
Topics Include
- The nature, history, and ongoing practices of RISC-V as a technology, and about RISC-V international organization
- RISC-V Architecture and Components
- Analyzing and modifying the RISC-V-core and memory hierarchy
Students are required to bring laptops for class exercises if they choose to attend in-person at the UC Santa Cruz Silicon Valley Campus in Santa Clara.
This event is sponsored by the Silicon Chip Design and Semiconductor Engineering certificate program at UCSC Silicon Valley Extension -
