Improvement of Undergraduate Education in Computer Aided Digital System Development Process

本计画改善电子工程与电脑科学系电脑辅助设计（CAD）应用于数位系统开发程序（问题提出、设计、实作与测试）之本科教育。 该项目的目标正在通过一个结构化的实验室发展计划实现，在每一类实验结束时进行轮换实验。 实验室项目分为三个类别，包括入门级，中级和高级实验。 在旋转实验中，学生团队在系统开发过程中旋转项目。 在时间T（i+l）期间，在T（i）期间制定和设计项目的X团队将实现X-1团队的设计。 在时间T（i+2）期间，团队X测试团队X-2的设计，该设计由团队X-1实现。 这一发展计划将分两期实施。 CAD方法在数字系统的本科逻辑设计，基于集成电路的系统设计，应用和测试的课程项目工作和实验室项目中的应用正在增加。 购买的主要设备和软件包括六台IBM PC 486或兼容沿着操作系统软件，六台Viewogic Inc.的Workview教育CAD系统，六个Xilinx核心CAD（XACT）系统、Xilinx到Workview接口（DS 391）、六个HP 1651 B逻辑分析仪、两个Alpro逻辑编程器和一个Labview类软件包。 所有的软件和设备都在实验室环境中使用。

This project improves the undergraduate education in Computer- Aided Design (CAD) application in Digital System Development Process (problem formulation, design, implementation, and testing) in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The objectives of this project are being achieved through a structured laboratory development plan with a rotational experiment at the end of each category of experiments. Three categories of laboratory projects consist of introductory, medium, and advanced experiments. In a rotational experiment, student teams rotate the project during system development process. During time T(i+l) team X that formulated and designed the project during T(i), will implement the design of team X-l. During time T(i+2) team X tests the design of team X-2, which was implemented by team X-l. This development plan will be implemented in two courses. The application of CAD methods in course project work and laboratory projects in the undergraduate logic design of digital systems, integrated-circuit-based system design, application, and testing is being increased over what is presently offered. Major pieces of equipment and software being purchased include six IBM PC 486 or compatible along with operating system software, six Workview educational CAD systems from Viewogic Inc., six Xilinx core CAD (XACT) systems, Xilinx to Workview interface (DS391), six HP 1651B logic analyzers, two Alpro logic programmers, and one Labview class package. All the software and equipment is being used in a laboratory setting.
