tremendous throughput, great flexibility, and system integration. The challenge is that signal processing in FPGAs is a much less constrained problem than signal processing in special purpose microprocessors. The opportunity arises in that it is now possible to explore more options and, more especially, to take a more systems-level approach to signal processing systems. In short, designing a signal processing system using FPGAs provides opportunities to look at many system design issues and trade-offs in a classroom setting. We have developed a course to teach signal processing in FPGAs at Georgia Institute of Technology and in this paper we consider the challenges and methods of teaching fixed- point system design in this course.

We termed this the “junior high dance effect,” except that rather than sorting bygender, the students sorted by discipline; a problem that appears to plague other multi-disciplinary classes like ours7. We were particularly disappointed in this effect at the early stagesof prototyping, which were not particularly technical. The entrepreneurship students did notparticipate well, perhaps because they felt outgunned by the engineers, yet they understood theproduct specifications the best of all the students.To garner experience in design and to try new concepts, we encouraged our students to spendtime creating prototypes out of Styrofoam, paper, and

In fact, as we argue in this paper, remote and virtual laboratories have the potentialto replace many legacy labs if the proper interface paradigms are identified. In this paper, wepresent the Realistic Looking Interface, which is a type of interface that focuses on the use of ametaphor that the student can more intuitively relate to a real-life laboratory. In essence, astudent interacts with the laboratory using a point-and-click mechanism to manipulate graphicalobjects that have a one-to-one mapping to the real hardware backend.
