International Business Conference 2017

“Everyone speaks of the actuality of programming these days; however Microelectronics is the core pillar.
I would strongly encourage to choose this path in engineering as it is very motivating.”

“I believe the Microelectronics Olympiad is a very good opportunity for everyone in the field to test his
knowledge and skills and compete against colleagues from all over the world, to identify the weaknesses
for further improvement. Such a competition has a high reputation and it will give you and your
institution a credit internationally. Thanks to the organizing committee for making this opportunity
available.”

“I really enjoyed the opportunity I had to meet all the people from all around the world and sharing
culture and experience, the gala night was great, we could talk to ministers of Armenia and other
eminent experts from the field, we got to meet Armenia with wonderful volunteers.”

“I participated in the 7th Microelectronics Olympiad, placing second in China, and missed the chance to visit Armenia. I was determined to win this year, and I did. It’s my pleasure to visit Armenia and to compete in the final stage of the Eighth Annual International Microelectronics Olympiad of Armenia. I am honored to be among 44 finalists because I believe that it shows the high quality of microelectronics education in my university. This also gave me an opportunity to spend three full days in Armenia, learn more about Yerevan and gain new friends from around the world.”

“The Olympiad is the first international competition I’ve ever participated in and it was a great experience. It provided a valuable opportunity to meet colleagues from all over the world, and was a challenging test of my knowledge and skills. My ability to win the second-place award demonstrated that the level of education in Saudi Arabia is comparable to that of other technology leading countries. In addition, winning motivates me to get involved in other similar contests. I thank Synopsys for creating such opportunities for engineers worldwide. I also thank King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) for sponsoring me in this trip and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) for giving me the knowledge that made this achievement possible.”

“The Annual International Microelectronics Olympiad of Armenia is a great opportunity for us to compete not only with our peers, but also with participants from other countries. Participation in such a competition helps us test our knowledge and practical skills in microelectronics design, and identify weaknesses for further improvement.”

Eduard Babayan

“Such Olympiads are very useful to us. The Olympiad is useful in three aspects. First, you are preparing yourself to participate in it, second, you check your knowledge and third, you analyze your results and start to work on improving them”.
