Abstract :
A conception of practical works for teaching design and test of digital circuits is presented. The works cover essential topics in testing and diagnostics field. They are meant for improving the skills of students to be educated for hardware and SoC design in test related topics. Six practical works are described. The works are based on two diagnostic software packages that were developed at Tallinn Technical University and Kharkov National Technical University of Radio Electronics. A brief description of these packages is given. All the training materials can be accessed over the Internet and therefore can be used by students at any time and any place. The free-access basis and self-contained nature makes it much easier to implement this course in foreign universities with a minimum of help from our side.
