Thismodule, designed for lecture-based courses, has been used in 11 classes, and assessment hasincluded 471 students. Students design the state machine circuitry as a pre-lab and then build thedesign on a protoboard in class. The experimental platforms are low weight and powered by 3-AA batteries for portability. The challenge of completing experiments during one 50 minuteclass session is discussed in this paper.
