Theresults both in terms of student success in the class and reports from students who have graduated aresummarized.Introduction Hardware Description Languages, HDLs, have emerged as a common tool to aid in the design of digitalcircuits. Initially, they were used for both simulation and documentation. Now they are also used forsynthesis as well. There are a variety of HDLs but two now compete as industrial standards: Verilog andVHDL. While industry makes use of these HDLs, it is still the case that many engineering students are notexposed to either language at all and others only see them during the last stages of their education. AtPacific Lutheran University, both Verilog and VHDL have been used in the first course on digitalelectronics. Upper
