Abstract :
This work is an effort to introduce short knowledge modules targeting new application or emerging devices in conventional “core” courses. In this knowledge module, we report introduction of two emerging devices, Memristor and Magnetic Cellular Automata. Both the devices also have potential to work as memory and logic simultaneously. Based on the worksheet performance, we observed that students were excited, motivated and assimilated the key components of the technical module. We also conducted an external independent survey, which suggest significant positive perception, interest towards the novel logic paradigm in the post-module survey compared to the pre-module survey.
