The revised course curriculum incorporated the usage of website to enhanceinformation transfer, use cohorts to modularize the large number of students and teams, use astudio/critique teaching format, integrate communications professionals into the teaching of thecourse, and allow students to be involved in establishing the final expectations for

Instructors shouldalso consider hidden curriculum related to overwork [30-32]. If we imply that engineeringstudents should always be studying, this might contribute to poor mental health. It might alsodiscourage students from persisting in engineering to earn their degree or enter the engineeringworkforce. Alternatively, we can encourage students to develop a healthy balance which includesattending to the eight dimensions of well-being via an array of activities.References[1] National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and

Then they combine the min-max circuit, add-subtract circuit, AND’s, OR’sand X-OR’s into one circuit and design decode logic to control it. The design is then placed thatin the chip to create an ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit). The same design is implemented usingVHDL, and downloaded onto the chip to verify that you can synthesize code into a chip and itwill actually create working hardware. Lastly, several labs pertain to sequential logic design andits implementation on
