Patti, D.; Spadaccini, A.; Palesi, M.; Fazzino, F.; Catania, V. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
The topics of computer architecture are always taught using an Assembly dialect as an example. The most commonly used textbooks in this field use the MIPS64 Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) to help students in learning the fundamentals of computer architecture because of its orthogonality and its suitability for real-world applications. This…

Zhu, Yi; Weng, T.; Cheng, Chung-Kuan – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2009
Incorporating programmable logic devices (PLD) in digital design courses has become increasingly popular. The advantages of using PLDs, such as complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) and field programmable gate arrays (FPGA), have been discussed before. However, previous studies have focused on the experiences from the point of view of the…

Castro-Schez, J. J.; del Castillo, E.; Hortolano, J.; Rodriguez, A. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2009
Educational software tools are considered to enrich teaching strategies, providing a more compelling means of exploration and feedback than traditional blackboard methods. Moreover, software simulators provide a more motivating link between theory and practice than pencil-paper methods, encouraging active and discovery learning in the students.…
