innovation.Since the early 1990s, U.S. national leaders within technology education managed to positiontechnological literacy as the fundamental goal of technology education for all students. TheInternational Technology Education Association (ITEA) set out content standards for technologyeducation and outlined precisely what student outcomes should be. Thus, they definedtechnological literacy as the ability to use, manage, assess and understand technology [18].However, technology over the course of recent decades have significantly influenced andimproved many areas of human life and work, as well as making mundane and repetitive tasksless burdensome [e.g., 21].Along the knowledge dimension, we might expect a technologically literate person to

They either cannot be used as a step-by-step tutorial, orthey only cover part of the entire design flow and are missing the fabrication part, which doesn’t meet adesigner’s need. The lack of up to date publication or document has caused a huge barrier for universitiesto teach a VLSI lab. In addition, some tutorial only provides schematic design and pre-layout simulation,but doesn’t include any layout as well as post-layout simulation. They also do not describe any pad-framewith pin mappings. Moreover, there is very few sources of educational tutorials of adding pad-frame,which is a complex but extremely important component before fabrication. Therefore, there is an
