Abstract

As SoC (System-on-a-chip) methodology emerges, IP (Intellectual Property) development and integration will play a major role in the high-tech industry. To prepare for this future trend, today´s graduating seniors should be exposed to concepts such as IP development and reuse. This paper discusses the simulation of an IP market in a class of 52 senior students using an open source system level codesign language called SystemC. The goal was to provide students with a real-life experience of IP development and usage and provide an entrepreneurial experience while providing credit for their participation.
