To that end,challenging hands-on design projects, which now accompany the courses, prove very effectiveteaching tools. Applications of digital systems in areas such as signal processing,telecommunications and high-performance computers represent plausible design problems,however, the control problems in which physical systems interact with digital systems toaccomplish certain tasks, offer in our opinion more exciting hands-on design projects than otherapplications. With emphasis on digital design, students can produce a viable solution to simplecontrol problems with minimal knowledge in control theory by using their intuition.To reduce the overhead in

Functions are constructs that describe a transformation between an input flowand an output flow. A primary characteristic of functions is their independence from thephysical aspects of a device or artifact. In this sense, functions are form independent
