Abstract
This work presents a redeveloped introductory course in Digital Systems Design, often considered a course on embedded systems and IoT in an undergraduate computer engineering program at a Canadian university. The course was moved from a theory-driven course to a team project-based course built on a framework of sustainable design, design for accessibility, and equity principles for deaf curling athletes. Students were guided through a modified design cycle, from conceptual design to a functional prototype and physical prototype. In addition, the course included a strong emphasis on allied topics for knowledge transfer, including business development, technology marketing, intellectual property protection, and moving toward commercialization.
