A typical course covers a wide range of topics, startingwith integrated circuit processing, device physics, transistor characteristics, layout rules,common circuit structures, timing and power dissipation, and the use of CAD tools toproduce chip designs. Given the broad coverage of material in such a course, it isdifficult to adequately cover the details of how each CAD tool operates. Instead, CADtools are usually treated as “black boxes” which automatically generate a design, withlittle or no explanation of the capabilities and limitations of each tool. Courses in

engineering problems are inherently ill-structured in that they are complex, defined bynon-engineering constraints, are missing information, and contain conflicting information.Therefore, it is very important to prepare future engineering students to be able to anticipate theoccurrence of such problems, and to be prepared to solve them. However, most courses are taughtby academic professors and lecturers whose focus is on didactic teaching of fundamental principlesand code-based design approaches leading to predetermined “right” answers. Most classroom-taught methods to solve well-structured problems and the methods needed to solve ill-structuredproblems are strikingly different. The focus of our current effort is to compare and contrast theproblem
