Abstract :
The effect of designer inexperience and incomplete CAD tool suites on the rapid prototyping of microelectronic systems was studied through a course on advanced digital system design. Some of the results confirm that well known and respected design methodologies are indeed preferable to other alternatives, whereas other results showed previously unknown traits. All of the projects were successfully completed, demonstrating that the stated limitations can be overcome. The results of the study are discussed
