Course Overview

The Hardware Description Languages for FPGA Design course by Coursera has been conceptualized in a way to enable the learners to get an insight into Hardware Description Languages for Logic Design and work towards their career in that direction. This course will give candidates an extensive introduction of the VHDL and Verilog which are the most widespread design methods for FPGA Design.

Coursera has collaborated with instructors from world-wide universities and companies. The learners will get access to quizzes, online videos, community discussion forums, and practice exercises.

Coursera in collaboration with the University of Colorado Boulder is providing this course. The natural learning process is utilized to make the learning of the languages easy. In the beginning, only simple examples are presented. The course also covers language rules and syntax and followed by more complex examples.

They will develop the skills required to design circuits using VHDL and Verilog and sufficient knowledge to continue gaining expertise in Verilog and VHDL further. This course is a part of the FPGA Design for Embedded Systems Specialization and can be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5361, part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree.
