Hi,
Several universities (in US, India etc.) put their course details online. A quick search revealed:

You need to choose the area of focus - for a 3 credit course, for an under grad, I recommend you keep it broader than deeper. i.e. cover as many areas of VLSI as possible than going deep into one area (that will be a M.S/M.Tech VLSI course).

Good Luck
