Courseware (equivalent to a digital textbook, plus software for the various platforms) isdelivered via Git, a popular Distributed Version Control System (DVCS). The Courseware hasevolved with each offering of the course, incrementally improving each time, similar to theconcepts articulated in [16]. The Courseware resides in an instructor-only repository, and thecontent is incrementally released to students, via a second repository for students that is usedonly for the duration of the semester term. Each week (a) the solution to the previous week’sassignment, (b) new textbook content for the current week, and (c) the current week’sassignment are incrementally released to the students.

known as timbre). • Duration.A music note8 specifies the frequency and may also contain the duration information. The notesare grouped into octaves and their frequencies are doubled after each octave. There are twelvenotes in an octave, represented by C, C♯, D, D♯, E, F, F♯, G, G♯, A, A♯, and B. The frequenciesfrom the octave 0 to the octave 8 are summarized in Table 1. Table 1. Frequencies of music notesThere is a simple relationship between two successive note frequencies. Let the frequencies oftwo notes be fi and fi+1, then fi+1 = 21/12 * fiThe equation implies that a frequency is doubled after one octave (i.e., 12 notes): fi+12 = (21/12)12 * fi = 2 fiFor example, the frequency of note C in the

in mind, we developed a design project that a) had a meaningful purpose, b) utilizes andintegrates many of the topics from the course, and c) is likely to be of interest to a broad array ofstudents. The project is an integrated health monitoring system. The health monitor determinesand displays a user’s heart rate and measures a user’s reaction time (the latter of which can beuseful for diagnosing diseases like Parkinson’s disease). A complete, digital implementation of thehealth monitor will incorporate topics including combinational logic, common combinationalbuilding blocks, finite state machines, counters, adders, shift registers, and hierarchical design.On the first day of the course, students are shown a functioning health monitor and

Block of Code. The two primary subsystems allowed the team toworkconcurrentlyonthreeseparatechallenges. As with most large run projects, a set of proof a concept “blocks of code” were designed and builtprior to PCB fabrication. In order to exist the proof of concept stage, the team targeted three criticalcomponents of the system: a) intra-block communication, b) topology detection, and c) main processortoken recognition. Because the team decided to abstract away control of the blocks to an externalarbitrator, the team was able to work concurrently on the three major functions of the system, distributedacross the two subsystems. The primary function of the block is to report its selected function inconjunction with the identity of its

Students discussed whatinformation needs to be established between the communicating parties in advance, in addition tothe basic mapping (000=A, 001=B, etc.). For example, the 64-bit message requires agreement onthe raster scan order, and the 21-bit code requires agreement on the ship order (e.g., longest toshortest).Next, modulation was introduced as a mappingfrom individual bits or groups of bits in the sourceencoded message to transmission symbols.
