However, due to the perception that chip design is tooesoteric, both lecture and laboratory coverage of this important topic are usually deferredto more advanced courses. Design experiences are instead limited to “breadboard”circuits using discrete components and operational amplifiers.This paper presents a new approach to teaching introductory electronics that incorporatesthe design and layout of CMOS chips.

These instructors used creative ways to address the teachingchallenges, such as considering the students’ needs and being selective in terms of curriculumcontent.
