Computer-Aided Education for ASIC and Microsystems Designers

这笔赠款用于开发、测试和分发创新的微电子学教材，以及实施现场可编程门阵列(FGA)试点项目。这些材料既可用于各种课程的讲课，也可用于实验，并以创造性和动态的方式使用多种媒体。第一批材料已经在夏威夷大学、斯坦福大学和加州大学伯克利分校进行了开发和测试。现场可编程门阵列试点项目管理15所大学的现场可编程门阵列成套设备的评估，并提供现场可编程门阵列公告牌支持，作为建立国家现场可编程门阵列支持中心的可行性的试点研究。1990年秋季开始在几个地点进行测试，1991年夏天广泛分发材料。

This grant funds the development, testing, and distribution of innovative microelectronics educational materials and the execution of a pilot project on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). These materials are for both lecture and lab use in a variety of courses and employ multiple media in creative and dynamic ways. The first materials have already been developed and tested at the University of Hawaii, Stanford University and at the University of California Berkeley. The FPGA pilot project manages the evaluation of FPGA kits at 15 universities and provides FPGA bulletin-board support as a pilot study of the feasibility of a national FPGA support center. Testing at several sites began in the fall of 1990, with materials being widely distributed in the summer of 1991.
