” course at Bucknell University. VHDL is used to define thefunctions and structures of a digital system. The writing of a hardware description is verydifferent from writing a program for software applications. Effective teaching of ahardware description language such as VHDL is a challenging task. To improve theeffectiveness of teaching digital system design using VHDL, numerous pedagogicconsiderations have been taken into account. In this paper major pedagogicconsiderations including course organization and materials are described. Studentfeedback was collected and analyzed; the effectiveness of each course module isreviewed. Common mistakes and general guidelines of writing VHDL descriptions forsynthesis are also presented.1
-altitude balloon project which received NSF funding in 2008 originated with TaylorUniversity in Upland, Indiana. Since that time numerous other universities have becomeinvolved in the project by way of Taylor's ongoing summer workshops. A typical balloon travelsto about 100,000 feet in a two to three hour period, bursts, and parachutes its payload to earth. Aballoon can be used to launch a 12 pound load into a near-space environment for a modest cost.The balloon and the load can be tracked and the load can be recovered using the GlobalPositioning System (GPS). This system allows undergraduate electrical and computerengineering students to design instrumentation packages for a harsh environment and therecovered data can be used to judge the

At the University of Evansville, EECS is a combineddepartment that has programs in electrical and computer engineering, and in computer science.The first engineering course, required of all freshmen, is a three-credit course called Engr 101.One of the main objectives of this course is to awaken students to the exciting possibilities allthree disciplines offer. Another main objective of this course is to assist the students in choosingwhich discipline best fits their skills and interests.
