The ATE Team routinely holds free beginners and advanced courses for academic personnel. The ATE team's workshops are designed to bring instructors up to date on current Xilinx FPGA chips and tools. Sponsorship is available for instructors. This advanced course assumes that participants have worked with some type of Hardware Descriptive Language (preferably VHDL) and have programmed an FPGA (preferably Xilinx or Altera).
