Laboratory Projects for Engineering Students with FPGA

This paper proposes a series of related laboratory projects to the image processing area through reconfigurable integrated circuits like FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). With the implementation of these projects, the students will not only develop skills in electronic design, they also will increase their knowledge as engineers, with the integration of electronic engineering and computer science in the design of reconfigurable hardware with FPGA's. The algorithms proposed in these laboratory projects, for the image processing, are coded in C++ and are implemented in the embedded microcontroller Microblaze.
