Abstract :
This paper describes a collaborative effort between Mentor Graphics and Portland State University to introduce hardware emulation into the undergraduate and graduate electrical and computer engineering curriculum. We detail several parallel approaches that address a need for both broad exposure to the concepts of hardware emulation and more in-depth experience with transaction-based verification.
