Concordia University - Montreal, QC

Taught basic practical concepts of digital design (building adders and multipliers on breadboards and their debugging to undergraduate students for COEN212 at Concordia University, Montreal. RELEVENT COURSEWORK AND PROJECTS

Digital system design:

Introduction to Digital Design process for combinational as well as sequential circuits.

Modelling digital circuits using VHDL.

Synthesis of Digital circuits using CAD tools.

Designed a 16-bit Adder using VHDL in Modelsim.

Synthesized the adder using Xilinx ISE.

Computer Architecture and Design:

Understanding the hardware design issues of high performance computer architectures.
