Teaching students in using contemporary hardware description languages for digital systems modeling, as well as learning how to use software tools for simulation, synthesis and implementation of developed hardware models. Teaching students how to write simulation, as well as synthesizable models of standard combinational and sequential digital networks. Learning how to design more complex digital systems, using hierarchical and modular design methodologies.

- ability to develop simulation, as well as synthesis HDL models for all standard types of combinatorial and sequential networks - ability of developing HDL models of more complex digital systems, using hierarchical and modular design methodologies - ability to develop basic testbenches that can be used for functional verification of developed HDL models - ability to perform all required design implementation steps (synthesis, implementation, bitstream configuration) in the process of FPGA implementation of developed HDL models
