Java-based instructional materials for introductory logic designcourses

摘要

Introductory logic design is one of the fundamental topics in thelower division curriculum in computer engineering, computer science, andelectrical engineering. Since it provides a basic foundation for a largeportion of the undergraduate curriculum in ASIC design, data acquisitionand signal processing systems, graphics controllers, and architecturesfor general purpose computing and communication systems, it is importantthat students learn the material well. The range of backgrounds andpreferred learning styles of today's students can make it difficult toeffectively convey these concepts. This paper describes the structureand content of a set of Web-based tutorials to supplement the spectrumof other learning experiences offered by the typical introductory logicdesign course. It also presents comments on selection and design of Javaclasses for such tutorials
