10. Project-Based Learning
Project-based learning in FPGA development enables students to understand complex concepts by applying them to real-world problems. This chapter outlines principles such as design and simulation, prototyping, iterative design, and system integration through hands-on projects. The implementation of projects like a 4-bit Up/Down counter, UART interface, and DSP system highlights the practical skills developed alongside theoretical knowledge.
