The Interactive VLSI IC Design Lab is devoted to serving both undergraduate and graduate students within the College of Science and Engineering. The Interactive VLSI IC Design Lab is primarily concerned with developing hands-on experience in circuit and system design through the interactive use of workstations. The idea is that instructors and students work concurrently; students learn tools and techniques while the instructor concurrently advises and corrects their designs. Such an idea is feasible through the application of the professional design system from Mentor Graphics, where all design databases can be accessed in real time by the instructor. Additionally, the new equipment can serve CSE students in other classes. Moreover, the research activities using the workstations may be expanded. The new equipment (eight SUN SPARCStations) meets the needs of this department in terms of hardware/software compatibility with the existing equipment. This program improves the quality, effectiveness, and accessibility of engineering education. As a result, it attracts students by giving them opportunities to achieve excellence in the area of hardware design for VLSI circuits and systems.

交互式VLSI IC设计实验室致力于为科学与工程学院的本科生和研究生提供服务。互动式超大规模集成电路设计实验室主要关注通过工作站的互动使用来开发电路和系统设计方面的实践经验。这个想法是教师和学生同时工作;学生学习工具和技术，而教师同时建议和纠正他们的设计。通过应用Mentor Graphics的专业设计系统，这种想法是可行的，在该系统中，所有设计数据库都可以由教师真实的实时访问。此外，新设备可以为其他班级的CSE学生提供服务。此外，使用工作站的研究活动可能会扩大。 新设备（八个SUN SPARC站）在硬件/软件与现有设备兼容方面满足了该部门的需要。该计划提高了工程教育的质量，有效性和可及性。因此，它吸引了学生，让他们有机会在VLSI电路和系统的硬件设计领域取得卓越成就。
