Electronic Design Automation (EDA) : This course starts with introduction about electronic design automation, then it gives and overview about Semiconductor as the main driver for EDA industry & technologies. It demonstrates how the evolution of today’s IC-Chips complexity and size implies a huge requirements change on the EDA technologies and capabilities. The course starts with an overview about EDA tools, then illustrates the ASIC Flow from system level design to RTL description using HDL, RTL Verification, Synthesis logic optimization, netlist creation and design for testability (DFT/ATPGA). Then it provides some insights about backend design steps covering floor planning, place & route and finally physical verification such as design rule check (DRC), Layout vs Schematic (LVS) and mask data generation. The course gives deep insights about VHDL as a basic hardware description language for digital designs creation. Then the course demonstrates Functional Verification techniques such as simulation-based verification concepts (Test Stimulus Generation, Coverage Drive Verification, Assertion Based Verification), HW assisted Verification. The course then moves to Logic Synthesis Step covering Synthesis Inputs, Synthesis Logic Optimization Techniques, Gate Level Netlist Creation as well as Design for Testability. Backend design steps such as Floor Planning, Place & Route and Physical Verification is Briefly Described to Complete ASIC Flow. This course demonstrates some SW Algorithms that are Heavily used in EDA flows.

The course is presented through a layered top-down approach starting from the application layer down to the physical layer, focusing on basic networking concepts and typical application layer examples. Focusing on the Internet and the fundamentally important issues of networking, this course provides a foundation for students interested in computer science and electrical engineering, without requiring extensive knowledge of programming or mathematics. A typical outline of the course goes by the following sequence: -          Application layer (e.g., e-mail, the Web, PHP, wireless Web, MP3, and streaming audio) -          Transport layer essentials and requirements. -          Network layer functions and fundamentals of routing, congestion control, QoS, IPv4, and IPv6. -          Data link layer and MAC Sublayer with emphasis on gigabit Ethernet, 802.11, broadband wireless, and switching. -          Physical layer (e.g., copper, fibre, wireless, satellites, and Internet over cable) The course dissects and depicts the principles associated with each layer and then focuses on Fieldbus networks, Control Area Networks (CAN, LIN, FLEXRAY) and SCADA systems.

Course Content
Deep Learning algorithms learn multi-level representations of data, with each level explaining the data in a hierarchical manner. Such algorithms have been effective at uncovering underlying structure in data, e.g., features to discriminate between classes. They have been successful in many artificial intelligence problems including image classification, speech recognition and natural language processing. The course, which will be taught through lectures and projects, will cover the underlying theory, the range of applications to which it has been applied, and learning from very large data sets. The course will cover connectionist architectures commonly associated with deep learning, e.g., basic neural networks, convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks. Methods to train and optimize the architectures and methods to perform effective inference with them, will be the main focus. Students will be encouraged to use open source software libraries such as Tensorflow, PyTorch, and Keras.
