curriculum are involved in course-embeddedassessment. The choice of courses is guided by the followingprinciples: • Each Student Outcome will be assessed with student work in a course(s) termed “benchmark course(s).” • Required courses in the program curriculum will be selected as benchmark courses. We chose this approach because all students take the required courses. • Although a benchmark course will likely address multiple Student Outcomes, typically one or two of its learning outcomes will be designated for course-embedded assessment. • Because Student Outcomes are assessed in two groups on a rotating schedule, the benchmark courses are organized and assessed in two alternating

Fig. 1b shows the simulation results where s=1, f=i[1]=1. This is important forstudents to identify logical errors as the simulation is fast and doesn’t need the hardware board.Fig. 1c shows the DE2 board interface. Eighteen switches and four key presses are used as inputscontrolled by mouse clicks on a computer. Eighteen led red lights, eight led green lights and, eight7-segment displays are used as outputs.

Because installation of a fullyfunctional temperature monitor device and completion of Unit 3’s annunciator system will mostlikely not occur until mid-2008, a scaled down example of a temperature monitor is used in thisproject for demonstration purposes. The scaled down example successfully demonstrates theoperation of the temperature monitoring process and activation of the alarm and unit trip at settemperature points.Theoretical BackgroundCalifornia’s State Water Project is the largest state-built multipurpose water project in thecountry.

Performing this inspection for all combinationsof inputs for simple sets of equations, or an interesting subset of those combinations for complexsets, can lead to an in-depth understanding of any specific design and of HDL described designsin general. As stated earlier, both combinational and sequential logic are supported inVisiBoole. Combinational assignment equations have only a variable name to the left of anequal sign. Sequential logic assignments use a variable name with a “.d” sufix. When formattedfor the display, the variable name and the “.d” are separated by a space. The

First, a careful distinction is made between powersignal-to-noise ratio, S/N, and the energy signal-to-noise ratio, Eb/No commonly encountered forplots of bit error rate (BER). The theoretical plots are actually in terms of Eb/No, although thevalues of S/N and Eb/No are approximately equal for the signaling in this experiment. Secondly,the observation of eye diagrams with various levels of noise is done in this BER experimentrather than as a separate experiment. Another modification was to have the students observe thesignal that has a pulse at each sampling time (called
