The Silicon Sea Belt Fukuoka Project was pushed forward in Fukuoka Prefecture in 2001 and has promoted human resource development of System LSI design engineers. Under liaising of industry, academia and government, “College of System LSI, Fukuoka” was founded and QUBE (Q-shu University hardware/software Borderless system design Education program) has been started aiming to establish education system for working engineers.
