Abstract :
Our department has systematically revised and improved the computer engineering component of our curriculum. This effort included the improvement of our sophomore level course on digital logic. The introductory course on digital logic was improved with hardware and software projects. Hardware projects consist of take home experiments while software projects entail the use of LogicWorks for circuit simulation and OrCAD for programming PLDs. We discuss these projects in detail
