Selected Examples of Simulated Circuits to Demonstrate Interference Effects Caused by Noise and Parameter TolerancesSome of the experiments and simulations exercises analyze the following: 1. Adding spikes to regular waves as input or as data on the transmission lines. 2. Effects

In the parallel literature on science practices, research on student understanding andlearning of practices like argumentation and modeling have provided foundations for curricularsupports and professional development (Osborne, Erduran, & Simon, 2004; Passmore, Gouvea,& Giere, 2014). Understanding how students conceptualize facets of engineering design couldhelp inform the design of better supports for teachers and students.

, verilogTown, as an aid to students learning Verilog. The reason for such a game comes from our experiences teaching digital system design where we observed a challenge for second year students learning to design with the Verilog hardware description language (HDL). In this work, we speculate why it is hard to learn an HDL, claiming that like learning all languages, the students do not play/use the language enough to develop an understanding of them (including Verilog). A student’s typical process of learning Verilog includes class examples and assignments, labs, and a project, but like learning more traditional programming languages, until a learner spends significant time using a language to build something
