Field Programmable Circuit Boards in Design - A 21st Century Approach to Remote Distance Learning for a Rapid Turnaround Heterogeneous System Prototyping Lab

在下个世纪，计算机网络将极大地改变大学教育。学生们最终可能能够在仍住在家里的情况下，通过电子方式进入他们选择的大学，这可能会对中等收入家庭产生有利影响。残疾学生或军事设施中的男女军人。特别的兴趣和吸引力将是对在家工作的父母有兴趣追求单身汉或更高的学位。卫星传输和多媒体显示已经开始了这一进程。仍然存在的一个困难是将实验室经验转化为远程访问。从本质上讲，实验室仍然保留在课程中，因为它们教会了学生许多在其他课程中找不到的实用技能。实验室强调实验方法的重要性，如仪器、测量和误差控制。这项建议侧重于一个实验室，其经验可以概括为远程专家组的经验。该方法相当通用，并提供了一个模型，或如何将这些技术应用于一系列实验室。我们将开发的课件将使实验室能够远程访问。这将使学生能够在家里创建设计，在远程实验室实施设计，并使用可远程访问的仪器验证操作是否正确。在短期内，这将允许校园里的学生有更多机会进入实验室。但一旦这种联系起作用了。不在主校区的学生也可以使用它。这种远程访问模式。长长的各种在线文档。将自动保证我们的同事可以通过互联网访问他开发的概念。这将增加顺丰投资的影响，确保结果、代码。和技术将很容易在全国范围内传播到其他机构，该方法的MAN特征是通用的，适用于其他实验室。

In the next century university education will be dramatically transformed by computer networks. Students may eventually be able to attend e university of their choice electronically while still living at home, something which could favorably impact families of modest means,. students with disabilities, or servicemen and women at military installations. Particular interest and attraction would be to work-at-home parents interested in pursuing a bachelors or advanced degree. Satellite transmission and multimedia displays have already begun this process. One difficulty that remains will be converting laboratory experiences to remote access. By their nature, laboratories remain in the curriculum because they teach the student many practical sills not found in other courses. Laboratories stress the importance of experimental methods such as instrumentation, measurement, and error control. This proposal focuses on one laboratory whose experiences could be encapsulated for remote leg. The approach is fairly generic and provides a model or how such techniques could be applied across a spectrum of laboratories. The courseware which we will develop will make the lab remotely accessible. This will enable students to create designs at home, implement them in a distant laboratory, and verify correct or incorrect operation with remotely accessible instruments. In the near term this will permit students on campus to have much greater access to the lab. but once the linkage works. students not on the main campus will be able to use it also. This remote distance access mode. long with various on line documents. will automatically guarantee that he concepts developed will be accessible to our colleagues over the internet. This will increase the impact of the SF investment, assuring that the results, code. and techniques would be readily disseminated to other institutions on a national scale, with man features of the approach being generic and applicable to other labs.
