Making solar energy more economical, forexample, requires the development of photovoltaic semiconducting materials with broaderabsorption ranges3. Fusion power generation is even more challenging as sustained andcontrolled release of fusion energy has yet to be demonstrated even at the laboratory scale. Evenif the many technological and scientific hurdles related to controlled fusion power can beovercome, practical deployment of this possibly game-changing technology requires thedevelopment of materials capable of withstanding unprecedented operating conditions4, 5.

The MILL model,developed by the Wayne State University, focuses on integrated learning. The core of the MILLconcept is the use of projects spanning multiple courses to help students gain hands‐onexperiences in design and manufacturing. It involves the coordination of realistic hands-onactivities in targeted courses around the unifying theme of designing and fabricating a functionalproduct. These activities are suited for easy implementation in a typical design andmanufacturing teaching

The experience exposed some limitationsimposed by the technology. For example, when circuits must avoid logic hazards (momentary“glitches” during transitions) as in asynchronous finite state machine design, FPGAs cannot beused properly, and CPLDs must be coerced into working by clumsily “fooling” the synthesissoftware.
