An Undergraduate Laboratory for Digital Design

本计画的目标是为电气工程技术专业的学生发展一个本科数位微处理器实验室。到目前为止，电子课程还没有提供数字设计的实际实验室经验。已经开发了一系列实验，有效地实现了这一目标。正在购置12个工作站。每个工作站包括一台配备68HC11 EVB微处理器开发板的Pentium级个人计算机、通用设计实验室平台实验板以及用于逻辑验证和印刷电路布局的ORCADTM软件。 学生现在获得基本数字电子和微处理器硬件设计的实践经验。学生能够构思，设计和模拟数字电路。新的实验室经验作为修订和更新的数字电子和微处理器课程的一部分，可以巩固，添加，加强和更新设计课程的旧序列中教授的技能。

The goal of this project is to develop an undergraduate digital microprocessor laboratory for electrical engineering technology students. Until now, electronics courses have not offered practical laboratory experience in digital design. A series of experiments has been developed that effectively accomplishes this goal. Twelve workstations are being acquired. Each station consists of a Pentium-class personal computer equipped with a 68HC11 EVB microprocessor development board, a Universal Design Lab Platform experiment board, and ORCADTM software for logic verification and printed circuit layout. Students now receive hands-on experiences in basic digital electronics and microprocessor hardware design. Students are able to conceive, design, and simulate digital circuits. The new laboratory experiences serve as part of a revised and updated digital electronics and microprocessor courses and can consolidate, add, reinforce, and update the skills taught in the old sequence of design courses.
