Designing and Building a Field Programmable Gate
Array System Using Systems Engineering Best
Practices

• Proposal Phase 10-19-06
• Team Leader Lennart E. Long
• Course ECE 994

2
Project Definition

• Summary of Project - ECE994 course work would
  involve the class designing and building a Field
  Programmable Gate Array using a Xilinx test bed
  as well as MATLAB and SIMULINK software. This
  will be the first step in a systems engineering
  process to engineer a working node matrix of mine
  sensors.
