The hardware content in this book is not sufficiently detailed for computer engineering. It's really for CS students who want to understand roughly how computers are made. (This is evident by counting pages in the book: the first 5 chapters are the hardware chapters and they span only 100 pages. The remaining 200 pages cover the software stack from assembly up.)

For example, one of the assignments is to design a 16-bit adder in their toy HDL, but they never cover carry lookahead adders. The only thing that matters is that your circuit passes the tests, so ripple carry is considered okay.

Similar efficiency/performance issues are glossed over throughout. Propagation delay is never covered, and the sequential circuits use idealized clocks (instant transition between low and high). They also don't describe how to build up flip flops from latches: the D-Flip Flop is given as a primitive and you build up other elements from there.

K-maps are not covered either. Caches are ignored as well.

Still, the book is amazing for its intended purpose. If you don't already know this stuff, this is an easy way to get a somewhat detailed (though abstract) view of how computers work without getting mired in all the concerns that accompany the engineering of actual computers.
