Cornell University FPGA Class Projects for 2008

Posted by timothy on from the ok-dad-now-about-that-money-I-asked-for dept.

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?

    Includes some crazy stuff like a photographing UAV, a PC-based oscilloscope, and a combination lock brute-forcer.

    I'm in this class. I worked on the Speaker Recognition project. It was very hard. Some comments and responses to other posts:

    • This is not a shitty program. In fact, it's probably one of the top programs in Cornell Engineering.
    • Both this class and the microcontroller class are taught by Bruce Land, an excellent professor. He's been at Cornell forever and knows just about everything.
    • Bear in mind that these projects were done in 4-5 weeks and this is only one of several courses that each student takes.
    • No one goes to the library for books any more. In five years at Cornell, I've had to get a library book once to find something I couldn't find online.
    • Wikipedia is an excellent reference. If nothing else, it is useful as a platform for finding the keywords necessary to more fully investigate a subject.
    • Our project does reference "real" publications - these are easily found using Google Scholar.

    If you have any questions about the class, I'd be happy to answer them.
