Oneof the electives in the program is an advanced HDL class. Under this setup, students would takebetween 15–19 credits with large programming components. With the ever enlarging scope ofinformation students have to obtain in their limited 4-year college career, the large number ofcredits dedicated to programming was limiting the space for core or elective EE courses. Due tothis limitation the 11 credits of Java programming were changed into a more directly related 4-credit C for Engineers course. One of the concerns that arose with this modification

Theinterface logic to connect these devices can be improved or modified for instructional purposes.Therefore, choosing a development board is not a long-term commitment to a particular set ofdevices. This setup is unlikely to become obsolete quickly because it has device support forUSB, audio, VGA, Ethernet, UART, PS2, secure digital, and expansion headers.Soft-core ProcessorA soft-core processor is a microprocessor core that can be wholly implemented

Introduction“We need to work to support ourselves and we want a life, therefore time for study is scarce”depicts the typical full-time student characteristics in ACU, Australia. Part-time students, withages varying between 25 and 50, have one or more of the following responsibilities: • a demanding job; • family; and • the need to improve their career potential.The scarcity of time for study is witnessed by the aforementioned student characterization and assuch, it is desirable to design courses which

Theidea of designing a project for ENGR 2431 that could benefit the students in other ways thanjust the Content Learning goal was ideal since these students were not ECE majors and thecontent learned in the course might not apply directly to their engineering careers.
