This project improves instrumentation of the introductory VLSI design course, adds instrumentation for an analog VLSI design course, and provides for a special topics course in VLSI that emphasizes design strategies usually not covered in undergraduate courses. This is part of a goal in the Electrical Engineering Division to expand the VLSI curriculum from one current introductory course to a pyramid of courses structured to teach the students VLSI design from several aspects. Emphasis of the new VLSI design curriculum is on design methodologies and specific applied design paradigms. The new tools are used solely on personal computers, and the courses are designed so the instructor can teach the laboratories with little or no computer technical assistance. The laboratories are designed so that one or two faculty can be used with help from workstudy students. The introductory course is offered to both juniors and seniors. Students taking the course in their junior year have the advantage of more detailed VLSI design experience in their senior year. Expansion of VLSI design can increase the student's proficiency in analog design using full custom design and digital design using synthesis tools. In the VLSI special topics course, students work as a single group on a design problem and emphasis is on design methodologies, time to market strategies, design for testability, and design for quality. *

该项目改进了VLSI设计入门课程的仪器，增加了模拟VLSI设计课程的仪器，并提供了一个特别的主题课程，强调设计策略通常不包括在本科课程的VLSI。 这是电气工程部目标的一部分，目的是将VLSI课程从目前的入门课程扩展到金字塔课程，从几个方面教授学生VLSI设计。 新的超大规模集成电路设计课程的重点是设计方法和具体的应用设计范例。 这些新工具仅在个人计算机上使用，课程的设计使教师可以在很少或没有计算机技术帮助的情况下教授实验室。 实验室的设计，使一个或两个教师可以与勤工俭学的学生的帮助下使用。 入门课程是提供给大三和大四学生。 学生在大三的课程有更详细的超大规模集成电路设计经验的优势，在他们的高年级。 VLSI设计的扩展可以提高学生使用全定制设计进行模拟设计和使用合成工具进行数字设计的熟练程度。 在超大规模集成电路专题课程中，学生作为一个单一的设计问题小组工作，重点是设计方法，上市时间策略，可测试性设计和质量设计。 *
