The aim of this project is to facilitate the establishment of an Undergraduate ASIC Computer-Aided Design Laboratory in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Physics at the University of Detroit Mercy that will result in a significant enhancement in the manner in which digital system design is taught. The area of digital design is one in which the teaching of theory is intertwined with, and as important as, the teaching of practice. The availability of the proposed laboratory would make it possible to formulate realistic design projects, that would be comprehensive in scope and enable the complete design cycle to be exercised, from initial specifications to final product. The students will have the opportunity to see the conceived model as working hardware. While the proposed laboratory will strengthen junior and senior level offerings in the EE program in general the availability of state-of-the-alt digital design automation tools will have special impact on the Digital Logic I, Microprocessors, Advanced Microprocessors, and Digital Logic II: VHDL courses. In all cases, a well planned sequence of laboratory assignments and projects involving analysis, design, and simulation will provide students with strong hands-on experience. In this proposal we are requesting four modern workstations, license fees for software, and FPGA interface and programming hardware. The justification for requesting each of these items is outlined in the proposal. Given the number and diversity of the students who will utilize this laboratory, we are confident that the impact of this laboratory improvement will be significant.

该项目的目的是促进在底特律大学的电气工程和物理系建立本科ASIC计算机辅助设计实验室，这将导致数字系统设计教学方式的显著提高。 数字设计领域是一个理论教学与实践教学交织在一起的领域。拟议的实验室的设立将使人们能够制定切合实际的设计项目，这些项目的范围将是全面的，并能够完成从最初规格到最后产品的整个设计周期。学生将有机会看到设想的模型作为工作硬件。 虽然拟议的实验室将加强初级和高级水平的产品在EE程序一般的状态的alt数字设计自动化工具的可用性将有特殊的影响数字逻辑I，微处理器，高级微处理器和数字逻辑II：VHDL课程。在所有情况下，一个精心策划的实验室作业和涉及分析，设计和模拟的项目序列将为学生提供强大的实践经验。 在本提案中，我们要求四个现代化的工作站，软件许可费，FPGA接口和编程硬件。拟议预算中概述了要求提供每一项的理由。考虑到将使用该实验室的学生的数量和多样性，我们相信该实验室改进的影响将是显著的。
