The Center for Advanced Radio Sciences and Engineering (CARSE), in collaboration with L3HARRIS, is pleased to announce the 2026 edition of the “HDLs and FPGAs Bootcamp.”

This specialized workshop, lectured by Dr. Manuel Jiménez (Professor, ECE Department), offers students a comprehensive introduction to Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) and Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) through expert-led instruction and hands-on laboratory sessions.

Participants will develop a strong foundation in FPGA development while gaining practical laboratory experience. The bootcamp also includes a technical challenge designed to allow students to apply newly acquired skills in a real-world engineering context.
