AB  - From Theory to Implementation: Meeting Industry Needs through University              & Community College Collaboration in Digital Logic DesignAbstractHardware 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using discrete components (TTL: Transistor-Transistor Logic and CMOS:Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductors) have been replaced by Programmable LogicDevices (CPLD: Complex Programmable Logic Devices and FPGA).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]. Clearly, electrical engineering technologyprograms are far behind in teaching the skills that represent current and future industry needs. Asa result, the School of Technology at The University in partnership with the Community Collegeare stepping up to this challenge by developing and introducing curriculum in hardwaredescription languages and programmable logic design. This paper will discuss the curriculumdevelopment at The University Electrical Engineering Technology Program by incorporating thetwo courses in logic design and hardware modeling using VHDL and Field Programmable GateArray (FPGA) Logic Design. The paper will also present the year project activities including theEmployer Survey to assess the project needs, the industry-led faculty training and the impact onthe Electrical Engineering Technology digital logic design curriculum development, theestablishment of two hands-on re-configurable computing labs both at The University and Thecommunity college, and finally, the undergraduate research experience at The University.[1]   R.
