Our curriculum is constantly updated and tailored to bring students the background, expertise, and business practices to remain competitive and advance their careers. Taught by qualified practitioners, our courses feature practical applications, underlying rationale, and current issues, all of which can be immediately utilized in and applied to our students’ work environments.

Part-time, temporary assignments are on an as-needed basis. This is an ONGOING recruitment. We accept part-time instructor applications all year long; when the division has a need to fill, they refer to the “pool” of applications on file. We are looking specifically for instructors who are qualified to teach the following course as early as WINTER 2019 quarter (beginning January 7, 2019):

Logic Design and Analysis using Verilog (3 units)
EECS X494.92
Expand your knowledge of gate level modeling, data flow modeling, behavior modeling, advanced modeling techniques, test benches, and logic synthesis. Learn the essentials of the Verilog hardware description language, syntax, and practical design scenarios. Participants learn fundamental and advanced usage of Verilog as a design capture and simulation development tool, and the use of the Programming Language Interface (PLI). The course will emphasize how Verilog is used in each step of the design automation process.

VHDL Design and Modeling of Digital Systems (3 units)
EECS X494.94
Familiarize yourself with the analysis and synthesis of digital systems using VHDL to simulate and realize VLSI systems. Participants learn the fundamental concepts of VHDL and practical design techniques. The VHDL methodology and design flow for logic synthesis addresses design issues related to component modeling, data flow description in VHDL and behavioral description of hardware. An emphasis is placed on understanding the hardware description language, VHDL design techniques for logic synthesis, design criteria, and VHDL applications.

Fundamentals of Embedded Linux (3 units)
EECS X497.10
Further your understanding of Linux and its adoption as an embedded OS platform. Gain an overview of methods and techniques to design and create embedded systems based on the Linux kernel. The essentials of the Linux operating system are discussed from the embedded system point of view including selecting, configuring, cross-compiling, installing a target-specific kernel; licenses; drivers and subsystems; the GNU development toolchain; and tools used to build embedded Linux system

C Programming for Embedded Systems (1.5 CEU)
EECS 805
Embedded firmware can be found in many electronic devices today. Increase your understanding of the essential embedded language features required for embedded systems programming. Embedded firmware developers benefit from this hands-on course by expanding their knowledge of using pointers and arrays, bit manipulation, using key words such as" volatile" and "register", and learning more about source code solutions to common embedded firmware problems. We will also learn some best practices in firmware design, such as revision control, code review and debugging.
