. In general, we believe a weakness of theNEETF survey was the inclusion of questions geared towards respondents’ knowledge ofpercentages, which misleadingly tests the respondents’ ability to retain data rather than a morequalitative understanding of energy issues. Before the course, 42% of the 30 responses to the knowledge questions were correct.This percentage is remarkably close to the NEETF result of 41%. After the course, thepercentage of correct responses rose to 58%, indicating an appreciable improvement of 38%increase in energy knowledge.

Cornerstone and capstone design courses are key parts of this learningprocess. These courses give students the chance to connect what they learn in theory with hands-onprojects. They help students build essential skills like problem-solving, teamwork, and thinking aboutentire systems. Engineering design education, as a discipline, focuses on combining creativity, technicalknowledge, and analysis to develop solutions for real problems. This process often includes generatingideas, building prototypes, testing, and refining designs to create effective outcomes. In this context,digital twins have become a valuable tool

Instructor provided studentsconstant reminder of the steps (Goal, Action, Monitor, and Evaluate) to follow in a self-regulatedlearning process.

Structurally their architectures are just more elaborate andlarger and thus it takes very little time to understand them. The tools are not much more elaborate either, so itshould be a smooth transition to these more capable devices. The main difference is the inclusion on the deviceof some kind of interconnect matrix, essentially allowing the interconnecting of four or more PALS on the samechip instead of four individual PALs on a PCB (Printed Circuit Board).

bookintroduced the “tall, thin designer” paradigm – the idea that VLSI systems designersneeded expertise at several different levels of abstraction, starting with CMOS layout,devices physics, transistor and parasitic characteristics, and working up through thecircuit design, logic design, and architectural levels. While the last 20 years have broughtdramatic changes in technology, CAD tools, and design methods, this bottom-upapproach to teaching has proven to be effective and remains in use today.At the same time, Mead and Conway recognized the value of fabricating and testingstudent design projects, and pioneered the use of multi-project chips to fabricate chipprototypes in a cost-effective way. Again, this approach has proven to be popular
