As the complexity of hardware functionality continues to increase, higher abstraction level design methodology becomes much more important. To meet this trend, we have started an exercise class to teach HDL-based hardware design, in 1999, and modified curriculum to teach C-language-based hardware design, in 2002. We have experiences on teaching both HDL-based and C-based hardware design methodology. In this paper we summarize experiences encountered from teaching both HDL-based and C-based design method, the objective of the C-based design exercise class, and syllabus of both HDL-based and C-based exercise classes.
