Summary | The lecture based part of the course introduces a structured and quantitative approach to electronic product design for manufacture (DFM); the link between design & manufacture; statistical process control (SPC); and design & analysis of experiments (DOE).
The purpose of this lab course is to produce students who are capable of developing synchronous digital circuits from high level functional specifications and prototyping them on FPGA hardware using a standard hardware description language (HDL).
