[EN] The European Higher Education Area (EHEA) defines the competences for
professional practice of a Telecommunications Engineer. The School of
Telecommunication Engineering of the Universitat Politècnica de València
(Valencia, Spain) provides an integrated education program consisting of a
Graduate (GITST) + Master (MUIT). The GITST course offers four
specialization tracks: Electronics, Telematics, Communication Systems and
Multimedia for the proper acquisition of knowledge and competences of the
future Telecommunications Engineers. In 2018, the graduate program has
implemented a structural change in the organization of subjects for
reinforcing important skills, in which a course on digital electronics design
and verification (Integration of Digital Systems, ISDIGI) has been
transformed into a core subject of the study plan. In this paper, we describe
the methodology and adaptation of ISDIGI (i.e. a project-based learning
intermediate HDL course that includes design and verification abilities) to
the new GITST Curriculum. In addition, this paper describes the process of
moving from specialized to core subject.Martínez Millana, A.; Liberos Mascarell, A.; Monzó Ferrer, JM.; Martínez Peiró, MA.; Martínez Pérez, JD.; Gadea Gironés, R. (2020).
