The tremendous success of MOOCs can in part,be attributed to their global availability, enabling anyone in the world to sign up/drop courses atany time during the course offerings. A single course enrollment in MOOCs can range between10,000 to 200,000 students, hereby providing a potentially rich venue for large scale digital data(e.g

Vemuru et. al. propose a spiral model ofteaching where HDL pedagogy is intertwined with topics and is slowly built up with complexityover time 30 . As pointed out by Kumar et. al. 31 the HDL and tool flow is an industrial tool used byprofessional engineers that should be included in undergraduate education.From our own experience integrating Verilog into a second year digital system course, studentshave a tough time with Verilog due to its C or Java like syntax (which they model in their mind assequential executing language). Our approach is to have students

for interested students.With this in mind, students must be convinced of three things: 1) that the “gospel” of Fs ≥ 2fmax (i.e.,sampling at least twice the highest signal frequency) that they learned regarding lowpass sampling is only aspecial case, 2) that for bandpass signals the selection of sampling frequency is more complicated, and that3) aliasing is not always a bad thing. By choosing Fs properly, aliasing places the signal spectrum wherewe want it, yet avoids the overlapping of spectral replicas that would render the signal useless.7, 8A bandpass signal is one where the energy is constrained to lie only between a lower frequency of fL andan upper frequency of fU . Thus the bandwidth of this signal is B = fU − fL . One useful form of
