Inquiry-based projects are beneficial because they require a significant investment ofstudent time and effort over an extended period with frequent constructive feedback from facultyand regular opportunities for reflection [4, 5].

IntroductionFPGA-based re-programmable logic design became more attractive during the last decade, and theuse of FPGA in digital logic design is increasing rapidly. The need for highly qualified FPGAdesigners is increasing at a fast rate. To respond to the industry needs of FPGA designers,universities are updating their curriculum with courses in FPGA logic design. As a result, theSchool of Technology at Michigan Technological University is stepping up to this challenge byintroducing the FPGA course. The new course will be the second in series of digital logic design, itintroduces the fundamental basic concepts of hardware description language (HDL).

primary purposes of an engineering or construction management curriculum is toprepare students to enter the workforce upon graduation, ready to engage in a variety ofresponsibilities as a part of a multidisciplinary team. The transition from student to professionalmust occur quickly – often in as little as four-to-five years. Central to this transformation is thestudent’s ability to translate the theories and principles introduced in the classroom into tangibleskills appropriate to their particular discipline and work effectively with a variety of people frommultiple disciplines.

It is a well-established principle that students learn best by hands-on experiences. The lab experiments areused to provide students with practical skills but these courses also play an important role ofproviding necessary engineering skills like teamwork, formal report writing and trouble-shooting(Davies 2008, Al-Bahi 2007, Krivickas and Krivickas 2007, Feisel and Rosa 2013) in addition toproviding best safety practices and

In such works [Plato,Aristotle], however, techne remains in the background; it seems to be accepted as relativelypliable, readily following the goals embodied in other social institutions.”5Many scholars have argued effectively against the neutrality of technology – we will consider herefour that directly address the instrumental view.
