Equipment Acquisition for Computer Laboratory

定制集成电路技术在数字系统的发展中起着重要的作用。所有电气工程师熟悉计算机辅助系统中数字系统的设计、测试、模拟和验证是很重要的。因此，将该技术引入本科课程非常有兴趣。该项目的目标是围绕ALTERA epld（可擦除可编程逻辑器件）开发高级数字设计和接口课程。所获得的设备用于设计数字电路、接口电路、外围设备、微编码和硬连线控制器以及计算机通信设备。该开发系统完善了电气工程课程，提高了对学生的教育质量。该奖金将由首席研究员所在机构提供等额的奖金。

Custom integrated circuit technology has played a signif- icant role in the development of digital systems. It is impor- tant that all electrical engineers become familiar with designing, testing, simulating, and verifying the digital systems in a Computer Aided System. Therefore, there is much interest in introducing this technology into the undergraduate curriculum. The goal of this project is to develop the Advanced Digital Design and Interfacing course around ALTERA EPLDs (Erasable Programmable Logic Devices). The equipment acquired is for the design of digital circuits, interfacing circuits, peripherals, microcoded and hardwired controllers, and computer communication devices. This development system enhances the electrical engineering curriculum and improves the quality of the education offered to students. The award is being matched by an equal amount from the principal investigator's institution.
