A Workstation Environment in a Computer Engineering Laboratory

拟议的计划有两个主要目标：第一，改善电机系现有的计算机工程课程实验室设施；第二，为计算机工程领域的课程开发一个理想的实验室环境原型。目前使用的过时单板计算机将被现代微型计算机开发/原型系统所取代。这些系统将由工程工作站提供软件开发支持和硬件调试支持。这些工作站将联网到文件服务器，以便集中存储和输入/输出源。这个联网的工作站环境直接与硬件开发系统和实验室仪器通信，将提供最先进的能力，从而为计算机工程课程的学生提供更好的实验室体验。

The proposed project has two primary goals: first, to upgrade current laboratory facilities in the Electrical Engineering Department used in computer engineering courses; second, to develop a prototype of the ideal laboratory environment for courses in the computer engineering area. Currently-used obsolete single-board computers will be replaced by modern microcomputer development/prototyping systems. These systems will be supported by engineering workstations for software development support and hardware debugging support. The workstations will be networked to file server for centralized storage and input/output sources. This networked workstation environment, communicating directly with hardware development systems and laboratory instrumentation, will provide a state-of-the-art capability resulting in an enhanced laboratory experience for students in computer engineering courses.
