theDepartment of Engineering Technology at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock is noexception. Programmable logic was first introduced to this course in the late 1990’s, with thehardware consisting of simple Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) and Complex PLDs(CPLDs). VHDL (Very high speed integrated circuit Hardware Description Language) wasselected as the programming language. This worked well, with students programming theirchips and incorporating them in circuits. The course was upgraded several years ago to useAltera chips and the Quartus II development platform, because the software from Cypresssemiconductor, which was used previously, no longer had the desired level of support.Microcontrollers are typically not included in a digital systems

Next the students are divided into groups and each group visits the Collegeof Technology’s test bed where they have a chance to see the network first hand and toask questions related to their projects. The College of Technology’s test bed (see Figure 2for the configuration) includes a campus-wide three node OC-3 SONET ring that usessingle-mode fiber and FLM150 optical multiplexers, Giga Ethernet
