Why this course?

Description

This FPGA Internship Module delivers an extensive curriculum on digital system design using Verilog HDL and Intel’s Quartus Prime environment. Learners are introduced to VLSI design fundamentals and FPGA-based development using ALTERA MAX10 boards.

Practical experience is emphasized through implementation of real-world systems including LED blinkers, seven-segment displays, motor controllers, and digital communication protocols like UART and AMBA. By completing structured projects such as a car parking system or a PING PONG game on FPGA, students develop a robust understanding of hardware-software interfacing and embedded system design. This module is tailored for electronics enthusiasts, embedded developers, and aspiring VLSI engineers.
