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

Z80 was selected for the CPUrather than an 8086 for several reasons. First and foremost, the 8086 is no longer manufactured.Second, the Z80’s clock is DC-coupled, allowing students to single-step through instructions fordebugging (the 8086 requires a 2 MHz minimum clock speed). Third, the Z80 is a popularprocessor among hobbyists and in industry and is supported by a rich set of peripheral interfacecomponents and projects. Fourth, the Z80 provides completely independent data and addressbuses; on the 8086, the lower eight bits of the address bus are multiplexed with the data bus,which students can find confusing. In addition, since the Z80 is based on the 8080, Z80instructions are very similar to basic x86 instructions. As an added benefit

Clearly, without proper team structure even initiallyenthusiastic and highly motivated team members can later come to believe that no one owns theproject and that no one cares about their success or failures. When no one is accountable toanyone then no one is responsible for anything.The likelihood of a successful team throughout the project and the team’s performance at thecompetition significantly improves if the students feel that their advisor(s) is genuinely interestedin the project.19 This interest and caring, on the part of the advisor, can successfully bedemonstrated in several ways, even when the faculty advisor allows the students to run their ownproject.

One of the fundamental concepts of andragogy is the conceptthat adult learners are more inclined towards self-directed learning than their youngercounterparts.12 Dating back to the 1930’s, education pioneers such as John Dewey recognizedthat ‘all genuine education comes about through experience’ and this is echoed by modernliterature that emphasizes the need for adult education programs to capitalize on this lifeexperience that adult students bring to the classroom (p.162).

In the late 1990’s studies such as the Society of Manufacturing Engineers’“Industry Identifies Competency Gaps Among Newly Hired Engineering Graduates” 2 begancalling for increased communication and teamwork skills in engineering graduates. RecentlyNorman L. Fortenberry, Executive Director of ASEE, argued in an article in MechanicalEngineering, The Magazine of ASME, that “To operate effectively, next-generation engineerswill require a panoply of interpersonal and management skills, in addition to technicalproficiency.” He notes that the 2003 National Academy of Engineering
