This project concerns the development of a standardized workstation to assist students in the electrical engineering laboratories. Each workstation is centered around the NeXT computer coupled with automated test equipment and permits the students to make computations (numerical models), perform automated electrical measurements, acquire data, perform simulation and test designs from one integrated workstation. By unifying all of the above activities via one standard computer interface (taught early in the junior year), the student is able to concentrate on the engineering concepts being taught throughout the rest of the laboratory courses. Workstation development concentrates on three specific applications. Two areas deal with continuous and discrete signals and systems and makes use of the GPIB equipment and storage oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer software. Theoretical and simulation results are easily compared and contrasted with experimental measurements. The third area deals with development of innovative computer-mentored experimentation with microprocessor systems using logic analyzers. These applications are intended to demonstrate the effectiveness of the integrated workstation approach and lay a foundation for further work. The award is being matched by an equal amount from the principal investigator's institution.

这个项目是关于一个标准化工作站的开发，以帮助学生在电气工程实验室。每个工作站都以NeXT计算机为中心，与自动测试设备相结合，允许学生从一个集成工作站进行计算（数值模型），执行自动电气测量，获取数据，执行模拟和测试设计。通过一个标准的计算机接口（在大三早期教授）统一上述所有活动，学生能够集中精力在余下的实验课程中教授的工程概念。工作站开发集中在三个特定的应用程序上。两个区域处理连续和离散信号和系统，并使用GPIB设备和存储示波器和频谱分析仪软件。理论和仿真结果很容易与实验结果进行比较和对比。第三个领域涉及使用逻辑分析仪的微处理器系统的创新计算机指导实验的发展。这些应用旨在展示集成工作站方法的有效性，并为进一步的工作奠定基础。该奖金将由首席研究员所在机构提供等额的奖金。
