Course Overview

In Coursera’s Introduction to FPGA Design for Embedded Systems course, candidates will learn everything there is to know about FPGA, including what FPGA is, how this technology was developed, and how one can choose the best FPGA architecture for a particular application. Further, the course curriculum also covers the development of FPGA with the help of state-of-the-art software tools. And, candidates will learn the use of FPGAs for solving critical digital design problems.

Introduction to FPGA Design for Embedded Systems programme is the first in the 4-part FPGA Design for Embedded Systems Specialisation series offered by the University of Colorado, Boulder. The course can even be pursued for academic credit as ECEA 5360, part of their Master of Science in Electrical Engineering programme.

Students can complete the Introduction to FPGA Design for Embedded Systems online training course in approximately 18 hours, after which they can move onto the other courses in the series. A completion certificate can be purchased after completing this course. The certificate can be uploaded on the Certifications section in their LinkedIn profiles. It can also be attached to their physical CV/resume.
