Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
1.Knowledge and understanding of:
I. The role of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) as modern computing platforms;
II. A range of FPGA design flows including High Level Language (HLL) design flows.
2. Intellectual:
I. Ability to choose between different FPGA design techniques, use them to develop FPGA-based applications and evaluate the resulting implementations.
3. Practical:
I. Ability to use an HLL-based FPGA design suite to develop applications on FPGAs. |
