Digital Techniques in an Undergraduate Electrical Engineering Laboratory.

在典型的电气工程环境中演示数字技术的使用是拟议实验室的目标。这门相关课程针对的是EE高年级学生，由一系列实验组成，这些实验广泛展示了数字处理在EE系统中的使用。八个配备类似设备的学生站加上一个用于购买独一无二的设备的中心站，构成了根据这项赠款购买的整体设备。每个站包括一个用于捕获、处理和产生电波的单元。这些单元基本上是带有数据采集和控制模块的通用微型计算机。还提出了用于创建和观察信号、产生输出动作和记录结果的附加仪器，包括信号发生器、换能器、示波器和其他通用测试设备。实验室课程是新的和独立的，是对几门没有物理感觉支持的本科EE课程的补充。它们一起展示了：量化在时间和幅度上的基本效果；嵌入式数字处理器的作用；随机过程现象；数字滤波；以及在电话机器人、生物医学仪器等领域遇到的信号等。

Demonstration of the use of digital techniques in representative electrical engineering contexts is the object of the proposed laboratory. The associated course is aimed at EE seniors and is comprised of a set of experiments which broadly exhibit the use of digital processing within EE systems. Eight similarly equipped student stations plus a central station for one-of-a-kind equipment form the ensemble to be purchased under this grant. Each station includes a unit for capturing, processing, and creating electrical waveforms. These units are basically general purpose micro-computers augmented with data acquisition and control modules. Additional instrumentation to create and observe signals, to produce output action, and to record results is proposed also and includes signal generators, transducers, oscilloscopes and other items of general purpose test equipment. The laboratory course is new and self-contained and complements several undergraduate EE courses for which no supporting physical senses. Together they demonstrate: the basic effects of quantization in time and in amplitude; serve action with an imbedded digital processor; random process phenomena; digital filtering; and signals encountered in telephony robotics, biomedical instrumentation, et cetera.
