objectivesThe objective of the course and the lab were to provide students with a skill set so they wouldbe able to analyze, develop, design and implement a reasonably large and complex digitalcircuit using either discrete components or a PLD. When wiring the circuit in discrete partsseems tedious students are advised to use a CPLD development board for lab work. Table 1shows the lecture topics and the relevant lab topics for the course.The theme of the course may be viewed as consisting of the following four sections: Section A: Digital logic foundations such as number systems and arithmetic, Boolean algebra and expressions; Section B: Combinational logic design, verification, and implementation Section C: Sequential logic

the innovativeness of the product designed by the engineers is generally more importantthan the sheer creative ability of the engineer, we chose to measure the creativity of the resultingdesigns. We measure the creative outcomes using two metrics. The first, originality, measuresthe level of innovativeness of the concepts for hypothesis 1a&b and 2, where as the second,quality, measures the technical feasibility of the concepts for hypothesis 1c.OriginalityOriginality, based on the metric developed by Charyton and Merril30, is estimated at the overallconcept level using Table 1.
