paradigm isrelevant not only to VHDL but to other hardware description languages including Verilog aswell. Students generally find that coming to terms with such an advanced topic takes time and isat least as significant as a step forward as grasping the concept of state machines in logic circuits.I have found that a data path constructed with simple components combined with a microcodedstate machine aids students in overcoming the hurdle of mastering the DPC paradigm. Thediscussion of microcoding here is limited to that needed to complete the project. It is not myintention to develop an interpreter to construct a conventional microprocessor. Rather, as aprogramming language in its own right, microcoding provides a means to present the DPCparadigm

We feel we have solved the dilemma in learning a laboratory-based topic like embedded Page 20.14.2systems where there is a tremendous volume of details that first must be learned before hardwareand software systems can be designed. The approach taken in this course is to learn by doing in abottom-up fashion. One of the advantages of a bottom-up approach to learning is that the studentbegins by mastering simple concepts. Once the student truly understands simple concepts, he orshe can then embark on the creative process of design, which involves

Theapproach described here involves automatically constructing a knowledge map for the students atthe same time as they interactively construct shear and moment diagrams for various problems.The map, which highlights the student’s mistakes and misunderstandings, is then used to providethe student with meaningful corrective feedback at several levels. If the frequency of mistakes isnot diminished over time, expert human intervention can be provided upon the student’s request.ScopeLearning-outcome assessment is the process of gathering, analyzing, and

available standard languages and the benefits of using SHDL is alreadyestablished. Moreover, learning SHDL serves as a stepping-stone for mastering other morecomplex languages. It can be safely claimed that the time invested in learning SHDL willshorten the time required to become proficient in Verilog or VHDL. Also, general concepts suchas RTL design and concurrency are already covered in a structured paradigm once studentsbecome familiar with SHDL.Conclusion:In this paper a simple and yet expressive hardware language, SHDL, was introduced for thepurpose of teaching Computer Organization and Design. Positive experiences in using thislanguage coupled with feedback from students suggest that SHDL has the promise of being aneffective tool in modeling

delta-sigma DAC, a signal generator is designed andimplemented in Xilinx Spartan 2E XCS2S200E PQ208 using 2SB and 2E boards fromDigilent Inc [9]. The samples of one period of an arbitrary waveform is stored in theROM and retrieved sequentially and applied to the sigma-delta DAC. In the actualimplementation, 128 samples of sine waveform, triangular waveform, and rectangularwaveform are stored in the ROM. The frequency of the waveforms generated depends onthe number of samples as well as the clock frequency. Sixteen different clockfrequencies are generated by dividing the master clock of 50 MHz. Four switches areused to select the clock frequency. Two other switches are used to select waveforms.3. FIR Filter ImplementationA 31-tap finite impulse

Thus students with a decidedly analytical bent are confrontedwith the challenge of learning and remembering vast numbers of terms or sketching andidentifying machine and process parts, while the hands-on type of student realizes that a lot ofscientific principles and useful mathematical analysis need to be mastered to successfullyoptimize manufacturing processes that they had traditionally done by eyeballing or referring tohandbooks.Even though more time is available for
