of their produced designs areusually evaluated to access the level of students’ attainment of the program educationaloutcomes. However, in technology-sensitive areas such as digital design, embedded processingand system-level engineering, software design packages are continually updated or replaced bymore powerful, more efficient, and more complex design packages. Similarly, hardwareplatforms such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are continually improving in terms oftheir functionalities, and capabilities. Therefore, in our view, capstone design projects should notonly be open-ended and realistic, but should also prepare student to work in rapidly-changingprofessional environment.The ever-increasing complexity of digital systems
