This paper will discuss thecurricular structure, the implementation of the graphical programming language and hardwarecomponent, examples from the class, and initial assessments from the experience in the form ofclass surveys. Challenges and opportunities are discussed. Overall, students reacted positivelyto the inclusion of the graphical language and extremely positively to the inclusion of thehardware aspect, which allowed for more hands-on activities.
