Cornell University FPGA Class Projects for 2008

Matt writes "The new crop of Cornell University ECE 5760 projects are now online. Some really cool projects, as well as the previous two years' worth of projects." Since it's mid-December, many other schools, too, have either just let out or are about to; can you point to any other online collections of cool technical projects?

Hear, hear. As a guy with an ECE degree who now writes software for a living, I constantly marvel at how different the two disciplines are, and how most "software engineering" strikes me as... not really engineering.

While it's true that it's possible to mathematically prove many pieces of software to be correct (heh, or to mathematically prove them incorrect, as would be the case with most software out there), it's pretty rarely done. To be fair, it's incredibly difficult with most non-trivial programs, of course.

But there's something incredibly satisfying and elegant about having a hardware design that you can prove is correct.

Now, of course, many other things can horribly break that design (yay for analog effects, process deficiencies and defects, etc.), but that's a far cry from "well, it compiles, so it'll probably work." But that's reality for ya.
