Abstract

This paper presents our experiences and describes the details of a project-oriented ASIC design course held at Leibniz University Hannover. Our approach for this curriculum is to bring a real project (AVR instruction compatible microcontroller) into the classroom and introduce a professional standard cell based chip-design to the students. Moreover, the students are responsible for the organization of the overall project, improving their social skills and the ability to manage conflicts. The feedback shows that this approach is implementable and fulfills the required needs for both, industry and university curriculum.
