Reform of Digital Circuit Teaching in the Context of the Training of Outstanding Engineers

To satisfy the requirements of the Plan for Education and Training Outstanding Engineers, teaching reform group has implemented a reform of the digital circuit curriculum. The reform is based on the problems of the traditional digital circuit course. The new technology of FPGA is introduced and the curriculum knowledge structure is adjustedensuring the integrity and comprehensiveness of the knowledge system. Moreover, the novel teaching methods is applied to practice with a development kit (pocket lab). Besides, novel assessment methods are proposed to nurture students’ innovation and application abilities. After two rounds of experiments, the students’ comprehensive ability has been strengthened, and the teaching effect of the reform is obvious.
