Abstract :
Summary form only given. An overview of how FPGAs are impacting education is given with an emphasis on how laboratory experiences are used to enhance learning. Courses employing these devices include: introductory logic, advanced logic (ASIC Prototyping), system-on-chip and platform design, HW/SW codesign of real-time embedded systems, network routing, and multidisciplinary capstone design. Project examples are presented along with specific ways that instructors can collaborate more to enhance the students´ experiences and their own productivity.
