Tality Corporation Provides Sponsorships to the University of Edinburgh
LIVINGSTON, Scotland----Oct. 11, 2000--
Tality Corporation, a subsidiary of Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
(NYSE: CDN) - announced today that it is providing $500,000 in
sponsorships to the University of Edinburgh for its top electrical
engineering students.
The Tality Five-year Master Program will provide internships,
mentoring and financial assistance with costs at the University.
Students selected for sponsorships will be mentored by engineers at
Tality's Livingston Design Centre at the Alba Campus in Livingston,
Scotland. Prior to beginning their fifth year at the University,
students will participate in an eight-month paid internship. This will
provide them with the opportunity to work on research and development
projects in technologies such as advanced system-on-a-chip (SOC) for
wireless and broadband communications, and advanced algorithms for
communications intellectual property.
``Tality's sponsorships will give our students real-life
engineering experience,'' said Professor Peter Grant, head of the
Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering at the University
of Edinburgh. ``Students will have the opportunity to work alongside,
and be mentored by, top engineers at Tality. In addition, Tality will
help them offset the expense of obtaining an engineering degree.''
``We selected the University of Edinburgh for this program because
its Electrical Engineering Department is the highest-rated in
Scotland,'' said Colin Adams, Tality vice president, and general
manager of the Livingston Design Centre. ``By offering mentoring,
on-the-job design training and financial assistance to high-achieving
students, we can help them reach their potential more quickly. In
addition, we effectively increase the number of qualified candidates
for engineering positions at Tality when they graduate from the
University.''
Since 1998, Tality has offered internships to selected Edinburgh
University engineering students during their fourth year of study. The
new sponsorship program formalizes the relationship between Tality and
the University, and broadens benefits for the students. Initially, six
Tality sponsorships will be awarded annually. Each sponsorship has a
potential value of $30,000 (20,900 GBP) over a student's five-year
university attendance. To retain eligibility, students are required to
maintain A and B grades in all maths and engineering courses. For more

sponsorships in other areas of the world. Colleges interested in the
