This is a verystandardize set of laboratory experiments to teach basic concepts of digital circuits. We anticipate thatthese experiments can be easily ported with little modification for use at other curriculum.

Given the integrated approach to teaching ECE concepts, it was clearthat the course could not be taught by sequentially introducing circuits and devices, followed bysignal processing, electromagnetics, and digital logic. In other words, the syllabus could not bedetermined by simply lifting a quarter of the syllabi of existing core courses and

This well-thought-out course structure has been working really well, and students completing this course usuallyhave the skills to build a small-scale system.Things are starting to change in embedded system design due to field programmable devices. In the olddays, programmable devices were used as glue logic, but their use is no longer limited to this role.Programmable devices have also been benefited from the shrinking of transistors, allowing moreresources to be packed into a programmable device.
