BackgroundAccording to the Moore’s law, which is the observation that the number of transistors in an integratedcircuit doubles about every two years. At present, one example of a GPU is the Nvidia H100, which has80 billion transistors on a single chip. At the same time, on August 9, 2022, the President of the UnitedStates signed the CHIPS and Science Act. All of the above mean the education of digital and

While ECEN 2270 is a hands-on laboratory course, the exercises areall directed toward building a product, not exploring the fundamental principles of circuits.When we were asked to teach the ECEN 2250 course for the first time, we believed that it wasimportant to include a hands-on laboratory experience. However, we were constrained in not beingable to change the course from a 3 to a 4-credits, could not change the meeting pattern of three,50-minute sessions per week, and did not have physical laboratory space available for the 138students to

use.Almagambetov and Pavlina [2] compare three methods of teaching laboratories in a digital-logicservice course for first-year students. The methods are wiring cookbook-style labs using off-the-shelf components, VHDL labs with virtual-wiring techniques, and hybrid labs combining the two(Ibid.). The hybrid approach was seen to produce better educational outcomes according to anextensive evaluation. Other educators have chosen a hybrid style as well. For instance, Areibi [3]has students start with breadboards, but after introducing FPGAs, observes that a studentpreference for FPGAs is established after a few labs. Nonetheless, Areibi has found that the useof VHDL in such a course causes confusion and has identified that the primary challenge wasbeing able
