Abordaje innovador en la integración de actividades curriculares del área digital de la carrera de Ingeniería Electrónica

About fifteen years ago, the Electronic Engineering Department of the National Technological University of Buenos Aires was structured grouping the curricula in Knowledge Areas. One of them was the Digital Area. It was assumed that its contents should be changing continuously with the evolution of the technology so a particular coordination effort should be taken in order to provide to the students a complete understanding base to facilitate their performance in the first professional job or in the access to an investigator career. It was accepted that a real project (including circuit design, simulation, firmware, software design, prototype construction, testing and optimization) should be recommended as mandatory to promote the assignatures. A common functional test should be applied to all the area students to simulate (as near as possible) the evaluation of their projects in a real world job or laboratory.
