Informal pollsamong senior undergraduate mechanical engineers at Clemson University, in the SoutheasternUnited States, showed less than 10% of students had heard of PLM by the last semester of theirprogram. Though not intended to be conclusive, this observation can demonstrate the lack offocus on PLM within a traditional program. 3.

For example some programs use microcontrollers and low-level languages like C orassembly language to teach basic computer architecture concepts. Others use the flexibility ofprogrammable platforms to teach basic discrete mathematics concepts. Yet other programs in ITrecognize that the computing world is moving to different platforms, such as mobile platformsand the “Internet of Things” and choose to incorporate these

IntroductionTwo digital design courses are offered at Bucknell University: one is entitled “DigitalSystem Design” and the other is called “Advanced Digital Design.” Both courses consistof three hours of lectures and laboratories weekly. Digital System Design, offered to thejunior class, focuses on logic synthesis; schematic capture is used for design entry.“Advanced Digital Design,” offered to senior and graduate students, addresses system-level design methodologies; the detailed breakdown consists of VHDL, register-transfer-level design methodologies, advanced topics in logic synthesis, and technology mapping.This paper addresses the pedagogic considerations of teaching “Advanced DigitalDesign” using VHDL.The design description of a digital system may

About 30years ago when crude oil was thought to be suddenly short on supply, researchers, engineers andcompanies began to investigate alternative energy sources. At some point in time supplies for fossil fuel and crude oil will diminish to a critical levelthat is why it is important to teach students how use and incorporate renewable energy into theirengineering projects independently of their majors.

Aircraft availability can often drive schedules tocompress or expand, causing a less than ideal connection between teaching in the classroom andin flight. Usually students are flying an event that they learned in the classroom a few weeks prior.This means that students are learning new material in the classroom while trying to focus on anupcoming flight that covers material from two weeks ago.While care is taken to keep practical and academic events linked as closely as possible, delays arecommon. Some of this delay is due to aircraft maintenance issues, or instructor availability. Forexample, each student
