Workshop Summary

DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY !!

If you have thought about teaching an engineering course which utilizes Programmable Logic technology, then attending one of Xilinx's University Workshops is the best way to get started. The purpose of Xilinx's University Workshops is to teach academic instructors about Programmable Logic technologies from Xilinx, to show how to teach a course using the latest programmable logic technology, and to provide instructors with the resources and advice to develop their own 1st through 5th year curriculum. Programmable Logic technologies covered include FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays), and CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Devices).

All workshop materials are in English. Workshop presentation and instruction may be offered in local language when appropriate and qualified instructor is available. Please see workshop schedule for more details.

These workshops involve on-site presentation combined with hands-on lab exercises on the PC. Workshops are taught mainly by Xilinx professionals. In some workshops, some instruction is also given by local professors who have experience with Xilinx products in their own course work in areas such as introductory and upper level digital logic design, processor architecture, digital signal processing, VLSI design, data communications, reconfigurable logic, and various advanced level projects.

The great news is that these WORKSHOPS ARE FREE!! Since seats are limited at each event and demand is typically quite high, we recommend that you sign up as soon as possible.
