The major of Integrated Circuit Design and Integrated System belongs to the electronic information category under the engineering discipline. It covers many fields such as microelectronics, communication, information, computer science, automation, manufacturing processes and technologies, and integrated circuit design technologies. This major mainly focuses on the design of integrated circuits, covering circuit design, layout design, and related design tools and methods. It also involves semiconductor devices and processes, including semiconductor physics, device principles, and process technologies. In addition, it focuses on integrated systems, including system architecture design, interface and communication, and system verification and testing, aiming to cultivate professional talents with comprehensive abilities to meet the needs of the semiconductor industry.
The Integrated Circuit Design and Integrated System major of Yangtze University is a newly established major approved by the Ministry of Education in 2024 and will begin enrolling students nationwide in 2025. Relying on the National Experimental Demonstration Center for Electrical and Electronic Engineering, this major integrates the advantageous resources of the original Communication Engineering major (a provincial-level brand major) and the Measurement and Control Technology and Instrument major (the Petroleum Geophysical Instrument major established in 1978, later renamed as the "Measurement and Control Technology and Instrument" major) of Yangtze University. It focuses on cultivating talents for the miniaturization, low power consumption, and high integration system design and development of information sensing and transmission systems, forming distinct disciplinary characteristics and educational advantages among similar majors in national universities.
This major aims to meet the major strategic needs of the development of national strategic emerging industries and adapt to the needs of the petroleum industry and regional economic and social development. It cultivates high-quality engineering and applied talents who have solid basic knowledge of mathematics and physics, professional knowledge in the field of integrated circuit design and integrated systems, good professional qualities, and engineering practical abilities, and are capable of engaging in research and development, design, packaging, testing, operation and maintenance, etc. of analog integrated circuits, digital integrated circuits, and integrated systems in related fields of integrated circuit design and integrated systems
