Based on a survey conducted, many students appreciated the fact that they getintroduced to learning Hardware Description Language (HDL) but miss the hands-on circuitbuilding.To obtain primary comparison results, we had two students run the two types of labs in twoconsecutive semesters. As primary results, both students agreed that (1) physically building thecircuits gave them a better visual understanding of how different circuit elements wereconnected; (2) having the option to write Verilog behavioral coding, allowed them to drift awayfrom the structural coding that was supposed to enforce the logic design concepts

The algebra is the same as ordinary algebra but thevisualizations are those of non-linear mappings between a 2-dimensional domain and a 2-dimensional range. These are the simplest mappings between spaces both of whose dimensionsare greater than 1 and whose conformal streamlines are spectacularly beautiful and wonderful tocontemplate. The beauty inherent in holomorphic mappings can be seen in the YouTube video1by Douglass Arnold.The SettingFunctions of a complex variable cannot be viewed as the ordinary functions of

It divides the computation tasks between thesoftware and the customized hardware. This design practice is frequently used in a “high-end”embedded system, such as a digital camera and a smartwatch.

Working within theseconstrains compels engineers to rely upon heuristics and intuition. Intuition is an amalgam oftheoretical education, practical experience, cultural insight, and creativity. Contending withintuition can be challenging because it can be difficult to articulate, much less defend. However,intuition is the outflow from creative cognition [2].Both psychological and sociological forces work against engineers embracing creativity.
