"Kids these days" ;)

Yes, I think now it's mostly the 74AHC, 74ALVC, some 74ALS/74HC families (maybe others) Depends on the application https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7400-series_integrated_circuit...

(using the fpga is fine, but I'd probably want to focus on the circuit itself ant not something like VHDL at first)

To be clear, this was a 200-level EE class that was, at the time, also part of the CS curriculum. One of my favorite classes, at least in retrospect.

The professor was simultaneously the founder of a company that made FPGA boards for EE students. They also made a little microcontroller board that was basically Arduino before Arduino; we used that in another class where we made robots and programmed them in AVR assembly.
