I've been teaching courses at Oregon Institute of Technology's Portland campuses since 1990. Here is information covering what I've taught in the past year and will be teaching next school year. Equipment requirements for these courses are described here.
SEE THE PROJECTS in EET364, WINTER 2010 and earlier.
To be offered Fall 2010. Use of the "C" programming language will be recommended in the second half of the term, if you know it. Otherwise assembly language can be used as it is in the first half of the term.
The Microcontroller courses are based on the Freescale Semiconductor 68HCS12 and use the Wytec Dragon12-Plus-USB board (view here and order from Wytec here), so students can have their own microcontroller to take with them and use outside of the classroom. Buy the version named Dragon12P-USB. Older Dragon12-Plus boards (bought from former students) can be used, however they will require a USB to RS232 adapter. Students receive my CD based textbook, Designing with Microcontrollers -- The 68HCS12, my 68HCS12 simulator, and all class assignments on a CD the first class meeting. Not in my class? Go here to buy the CD with the text and simulator or the printed version of the text.
Offered Winter 2010. Will be offered again Winter 2011. Use of the "C" programming language will be recommended.

To be offered Winter 2011. Assignments for 2010 shown.
Since the Fall 2004 EET 313P class, students bought an FPGA evaluation board for use in the lab, and in other courses (Digital Systems II and in some cases the Senior Project). The FPGA board will be the Digilent Nexys 2. The textbook is Fundamentals of Logic Design, 6th Edition, by Charles H. Roth, Jr., ISBN 978-0495471691. If you are buying used, you won't be needing the CD and can use the 5th edition (which was considerably cheaper) if you can find one. A DVD containing all the software, documentation, assignments, and some videos for the course will be provided at the first meeting. Students will need a computer with 5GB free disk space for the software and Windows XP or later. The Xilinx ISE program is very large and CPU intensive.
To be offered in Spring 2011. For the last two years there were group projects to implement a PDP-8 minicomputer in an FPGA. There will be a similar project this year.
This course uses the Digilent Nexys-2 board. It can be purchased directly from Digilent here. The textbook is Fundamentals of Logic Design that most students will have already purchased. Digital Systems Design using VHDL by Charles H. Roth, Jr. can be purchased for enrichment. A DVD containing all the software and documentation for the course will be provided at the first meeting.
