This paper presents the methods used and experiences gained from teaching a digital system design course on a unified computer engineering learning platform. The learning platform is a result from the E2LP project whose main idea is to provide a unified platform which will cover a complete process for embedded computer systems learning. A modular approach is considered for skills practice through supporting individualization in learning. The main body of the platform is the base board with FPGA connected to a wide range of interfaces - audio, video, communication, memory and user I/O. Additionally the base board can be connected to one extension board via the standardized Mezzanine interface. Extension boards broaden the range of applications of the platform beyond digital system design and allow the platform to be used in the entire computer engineering curriculum. In addition to the technological approach, the use of cognitive theories on how people learn helps students achieve a stronger and smarter adaptation of the subject. One example course in digital system design is presented and experiences gained from applying it during one semester at University of Novi Sad are summarized. The results show the positive acceptance of the platform by students. |
