VHDL Digital Electronic Circuit Design Project Based Learning Experience

Abstract

In this post, we discuss our experiences using VHDL to teach students about system design and digital electronic circuits using FPGAs. For the duration of the course, students will engage in hands-on, project based learning as they learn to develop digital circuits and systems. Students build increasingly complex electronic circuits as the semester progresses. Students graduate from this class with the ability to work on projects that are both simple and complicated, such as video games and image processing systems.
