Implementation and Improvement of a Computer Engineering Undergraduate Microprocessor Projects Laboratory

该项目的目标是提高本科生微处理器项目实验室的有效性和相关性。这将通过改善实验室设施来实现，这些设施对于支持涉及微处理器应用的设计项目至关重要。该实验室的一个独特特点是，它强调设计团队在实际应用中使用微处理器和微控制器的方法。这些申请往往是在传统资金来源无法获得的领域。例如，一个设计团队目前正在为位于俄勒冈州蒙茅斯的非营利性博物馆Paul Jensen北极博物馆实施计算机控制的教育展示。为了实现这些目标，实验室需要现代化的设计仪器和计算机设施，包括图形工作站、个人计算机、示波器、仪器控制器以及许多用于微处理器和微控制器系统实施的硬件和软件支持包。提供这些设施的很大一部分费用将由包括泰克在内的当地行业提供。

The goal of this project is to improve the effectiveness and relevance of the undergraduate microprocessor project laboratory. This will be accomplished by improving the laboratory facilities which are essential to support design projects involving microprocessor applications. A unique feature of the laboratory is its emphasis on a design team approach to the use of microprocessors and microcontrollers in real applications. These applications are often in areas in which conventional sources of funds are not available. For example, a design team is currently implementing computer controlled educational displays for the Paul Jensen Arctic Museum, a non-profit museum located in Monmouth, Oregon. To accomplish these goals, the laboratory is in need of modern design instruments and computer facilities, including a graphics work station, personal computers, oscilloscopes, instrumentation controllers, and numerous hardware and software support packages for microprocessor and microcontroller system implementation. A significant portion of the expenses for providing these facilities will be provided by local industry including Tektronix.
