Abstract :
We motivate and present a project based learning concept for digital electronic design. The concept is derived from our university´s new vision of engineering education with emphasis on learning rather than teaching. We show the design of a project, and reveal through students´ comments how peer evaluation may increase learning. Other skills necessary for engineers are also deployed in this project. Finally, we provide an example of design efficiency variation as given in these projects
