This paper describes the ongoing activities in design education at the University of Stuttgart. It is decomposed into two steps. The first step is a course of one semester. There the students obtain basic design and architecture knowledge under the close guidance of an experienced advisor. For the second step, we have launched a little project, that comes as close as possible to real life experience: the design of the DLX, a 32-bit RISC processor. The project has been split into smaller tasks being handled autonomously by the students in a six months period. As a side effect a complete processor model is developed.
