一、課程說明(Course Description)
The purpose of this class is to let students perform hand on experiments on several logic design learned in the previous year. Students are required to run 6-7 experiments and a final project with a group of 2. An experiment is succeeded after demonstration to the TAs or me.

In the Logic Design course, you have learned the basics of digital logic design. In this laboratory class, we will move on from theory to practice and actually implement some interesting and useful designs. We will make use of computer-aided design (CAD) tools and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) development boards to implement and test our designs.

After taking this course, you will
1. acquire hands-on design experience with a complete CAD tool suite,
2. learn digital logic design with HDL, and
4. learn rapid prototyping using FPGAs

Some of the major topics are listed in the following.

Logic Design and test bench design with HDL
Xilinx ISE Software
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA)
Modular design concept and skills
