Condition
The goal		Introduction to "front end" design methodology of VLSI systems, the basics of language for hardware description, programmable components. Understanding of phases in designing of VLSI systems, analyze of system complexity and modular designing. Training for work with software packages for designing of VLSI systems, FPGA implementation, testing and creating project documentation.
The outcome		Students had the basic knowledge of the front-end design methodology of VLSI systems and ability to design and implement in FPGA a system of middle complexity.
