Abstract
Abstract The goal of this paper is to describe the motivation, methodology and results of converting several modules in a Digital Design course to a “flipped classroom”. The course introduces students to VHDL Hardware Description Language as the design entry method for digital circuits and to Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) platforms for the implementation of the digital circuits. The students enrolled in this course have a large range of skills in term of experience with laboratory equipment, computer-based-tools and programming. The paper will summarize the process of implementing the flipped classroom pedagogy in the digital design course and will present challenges and lessons learned.
