Electronic devices accompany almost all of the growth of existing technology. Therefore, the development of the electronics industry, particularly the microprocessor (Integrated Circuit Design - IC Design) has now received good support from the Indonesian government to be able to catch up. Of course, to improve the performance acceleration, high quality human resources is needed to be able to pour their energy and thoughts on the industry. In this regard, a manufacturer of storage, communications, and semiconductors, Marvell Technology Group, Ltd. held a visit to the School of Electrical and Information (STEI) ITB on Tuesday(22/09/2015).
