Abstract

The closed-lab environment has been used successfully in the Computer Science curriculum. This paper proposes a set of laboratories, that combine the use of hands-on techniques and logic simulation. During a semester, students in Computer Systems Organization classes design and implement a working model of a complete system: OBC.
