use.Almagambetov and Pavlina [2] compare three methods of teaching laboratories in a digital-logicservice course for first-year students. The methods are wiring cookbook-style labs using off-the-shelf components, VHDL labs with virtual-wiring techniques, and hybrid labs combining the two(Ibid.). The hybrid approach was seen to produce better educational outcomes according to anextensive evaluation. Other educators have chosen a hybrid style as well. For instance, Areibi [3]has students start with breadboards, but after introducing FPGAs, observes that a studentpreference for FPGAs is established after a few labs. Nonetheless, Areibi has found that the useof VHDL in such a course causes confusion and has identified that the primary challenge wasbeing able

courses did little to promote the many opportunities available in the ECE field. ● While diverse engineering topics and problems were discussed, it was only at a shallow level and did not cater to the interests of ECE students. Very little time was actually spent discussing electrical engineering principles. ● Many students felt that the predominantly lecture-based approach was uninteresting and did not hold much relevance to “real-world” applications. ● There was no hands-on laboratory experience in the freshman year. Students did not experience the creative and “fun” side of engineering. ● The lack of laboratory experience and the cursory introduction to MATLAB in the first year caused some students to feel
