Abstract

This paper summarizes the experiences of global faculty (N. America, Europe, Asia) in using an open design platform approach for project-based active learning in electronics, computing and ICT engineering education. A common design platform was used to support courses spanning a range of university engineering levels from 2^nd year undergraduate to 2^nd second year postgraduate programs, and across a range of disciplines from Digital Systems, Embedded Systems, VLSI/SoC-Design, Digital Communications and Signal Processing.
