I would like to see a class in which CS students are teamed with
EE students to build a peripheral for a computer, such as a uart.
The EE student wuold be resposible for the hardward design and fab;
the CS student would be responsible for the software design and 
implementation to make the hardware do something useful.  This
would give the student a feeling for how their decisions affect
each other.


Additionally the CS student should implement the software to use
this hardware in several languages.  I would pick assembly, C, Ada,
assembly mixed with C, and assembly mixed with Ada.  This would 
demonstrate the strength and weeknesses of each enviornment.
