Computer Architecture Classes @ WNE

Many, many, many years ago, I took a small career detour and taught for one year at a regional college in MA. There, I was assigned to teach several introductory computer engineering courses. On this page, I’m sharing the slides from the most memorable ones: real-time kernels (a fancy term for embedded RTOS), VHDL simulation and synthesis, and an electronics summer camp for 8–12-year-olds. The other classes were more prosaic. In a fun twist, almost 15 years later I’m once again working with VHDL. Since my slides were all tucked away on a hard-disk drive, I figured—why not take this opportunity to put everything online for posterity? Enjoy!
