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.

该项目改善了电气工程和计算机科学系数字系统开发过程（问题制定、设计、实施和测试）中计算机辅助设计（CAD）应用的本科教育。 该项目的目标是通过结构化的实验室发展计划来实现的，并在每个类别的实验结束时进行轮换实验。 实验室项目分为入门、中级和高级实验三类。 在轮换实验中，学生团队在系统开发过程中轮换项目。 在时间T(i+l)期间，在T(i)期间制定和设计项目的X团队将实施团队X-l的设计。 在时间 T(i+2) 期间，X 团队测试了由 X-1 团队实施的 X-2 团队的设计。 该发展计划将分两门课程实施。 CAD 方法在本科数字系统逻辑设计、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比目前提供的内容有所增加。 采购的主要设备和软件包括六台 IBM PC 486 或与操作系统软件兼容、六台 Viewogic Inc. 的 Workview 教育 CAD 系统、六台 Xilinx 核心 CAD (XACT) 系统、Xilinx to Workview 接口 (DS391)、六台 HP 1651B 逻辑分析仪、两台 Alpro 逻辑编程器和 1 个 Labview 类包。 所有软件和设备都在实验室环境中使用。
