AB  -            Digital Logic Design: Meeting industry’s needs through                 university & community college collaborationAbstractHardware Description Language and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) haverevolutionized the way Digital Logic Design is taught and implemented. Traditional ways ofteaching logic design using discrete components (TTL: Transistor-Transistor Logic and CMOS:Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductors) have been replaced by Programmable LogicDevices (CPLD: Complex Programmable Logic Devices and FPGA). Today, a more standarddevelopment process is widely used in industry. The process uses Hardware DescriptionLanguages as a design entry to describe the digital systems. The two most widely used HardwareDescription Languages in industry are VHDL (Very High Speed Integrated Circuit HardwareDescription Language) and Verilog (Verifying Logic). Although most traditional electrical andcomputer engineering programs have updated their curriculum to include topics in hardwaredescription language and programmable logic design (FPGA/CPLD), two-year and four-yearelectrical engineering technology programs have fallen behind and are moving slowly inupdating their curriculum. A survey of 107 two-year electrical engineering technology programsand 52 four-year electrical engineering technology programs showed that only 16.5% of two-year and only 19.5 % of four-year programs in electrical and computer engineering technology atUS academic institutions currently have a curriculum component in hardware descriptionlanguage and programmable logic design [1]. To effectively meet the next generation’sworkforce needs, the electrical and computer engineering technology curriculum must becurrent, relevant, and teach technology that is widely used in industry. To meet this goal, thispaper propose a curriculum development project designed to meet the needs of both communitycollege and university-based two- and four-year technology programs that will develop newcourses in logic design and hardware modeling using VHDL and Field Programmable GateArray (FPGA) Logic Design to teach students marketable logic design skills. Curriculumdevelopment will include the development of hands-on re-configurable computing labs both atthe university and the community college, we will be able to provide students at universities andcommunity colleges with state-of-the-art training tools that match the expectations of industry.Through this enhanced partnerships with community colleges, which will involve facultydevelopment, sharing of curriculum resources, and undergraduate research exchanges, we aim toincrease the transition of students from two-year to four-year programs. Our aim is not to takeaway from students attending or planning to attend community college but rather to improvecurriculum for students in both two- and four-year programs and to make pathways clear andeasy for those who do wish to continue their technology education past their two-year degree.[1]   R.
