SiliconMesh™ · Student experience

From first login
to real silicon.

A corporate-style engineering environment where students work on real ASIC implementation activities—with mentors guiding the work, the college retaining its infrastructure and IP, and every milestone connected.

Not a training dashboard. Not a collection of lectures. A structured engineering journey: access → assignment → execution → review → iteration → evidence.

One journey · three views

Everyone sees the same engineering system differently.

Students see work. Mentors see teams and decisions. College leadership sees progress, participation and outcomes.

Student home

“What am I doing today?”

Accounts are created by node beyOnd™ using the college-provided email IDs. The student sees the current project, today's assigned task, mentor touchpoints and what is expected by the evening design review.

Mentor cockpit

“What is moving? What is blocked?”

Project managers and team leads assign work, review results, respond to tickets and keep the team moving. Reviews can happen remotely through the college server environment.

Leadership view

“Is the program actually producing engineering capability?”

The HoD sees a high-level view of participation, project progress, mentor engagement, review cadence and evidence—not a day-to-day task list.

From participation to evidence

Leadership can see that students are not just attending sessions—they are completing engineering work inside the institution's controlled environment, with mentor reviews and project evidence.

Access & workspace

Login once. Work where the IP lives.

College infrastructure remains the source of truth for EDA, PDK and design data.

COLLEGE SERVER · CONTROLLED

EDA + PDK + design data stay here.

Students work in the lab. Project managers and team leads can review remotely through VPN. The design environment remains under the college's control.

Mentor

Project manager / team lead → remote review → college server → same engineering context.

No EDA / PDK / design IP needs to be exported to the mentoring location. The workflow is designed around the college environment remaining the controlled source.
First 3 weeks

Onboard like an engineering team—not a classroom.

Students build familiarity with the environment and flow before moving into daily project implementation work.

WEEK 01

Environment

Linux OS, shell, repositories, collaboration habits and the engineering workspace.

WEEK 02

Flow

Advanced process nodes, RTL, synthesis, timing concepts and the ASIC implementation path.

WEEK 03

Readiness

Practice the workflow, understand checks, inputs, outputs and review expectations.

WEEK 04+

Real work

RISC-V design projects, daily assignments, implementation tasks and mentor-led reviews.

Mentoring at a distance

Mentoring happens where the engineering happens.

Video is the primary human touchpoint. Tickets capture issues that need continuity between meetings.

09:04 · Student → Team Lead

Review request · timing path issue

“The path is failing after the latest constraint update. I have checked the generated clock definition and attached the latest report for review.”

Team Lead: “Bring the report to the evening design review. Re-run with the previous constraint version so we can isolate the change.”
Project Manager: “Ticket linked to today's task. We'll review the impact before closing the milestone.”
17:30 · Design review

Video review · work + decision

The mentor reviews the student's actual result, asks why the result changed, and records the agreed next action.

Engineering review

Not “Did you attend?” — “What changed because you worked on it?”

The platform keeps the task, result, review and next action connected.
