Augmenting the Fundamentals of Digital System Design by Appropriate Amalgamation of Courses in the Curriculum

Abstract

Design in India is inevitable for digital India.Youths/students have to play a vital role. Thus directing themtowards necessary and essential skill sets is imperative. The teacherscan play an appreciable role in this significant revolution. Students should be educated about the basic course required-Digital Electronics (DE). Knowledge of this course alone is notsufficient for complex Digital System Design. Hence the authorspropose integration of DE with Hardware Description Language(HDL). This paper presents use of PSpice simulator and XilinxIntegrated Synthesis Environment (ISE) for effective mentoringof engineering students. Authors also discuss about the possibleattainment of Graduate Attributes for the proposed pedagogy method.
