Undergraduate VLSI Computer-Aided Design Laboratory

将建立一个大学生VLSI计算机辅助设计实验室，利用CAD工具、设备库和在高级工业型工作站上实施的教程程序的集成数据库。本实验所将提供一个环境，透过对复杂概念更全面的演示能力，以及鼓励学生更具挑战性和创造性的思考，来促进数位电路与系统设计的有效教学。由实验室支持的分层设计方法将允许学生专注于与当前项目相关的设计层面。人工智能增强的用户界面和系统集成商的发展将允许轻松访问和使用适当的工具来完成手头的工作。学生将被鼓励更新和改进集成系统和可用的CAD工具与他们自己的想法。

An undergraduate VLSI computer-aided design laboratory, capitalizing on an integrated data base of CAD tools, device libraries, and tutorial programs implemented on high-level, industrial-type workstations will be established. This laboratory will provide an environment which promotes effective teaching of digital circuit and system design through more comprehensive demonstration capabilities for complex concepts and by encouraging more challenging and creative thinking from the students. The hierarchical methodology of design supported by the laboratory will allow students to focus on the design level relevant to the current project. The development of AI enhanced user-interfaces and system integrators will allow easy access and use of the appropriate tools for the job at hand. Students will be encouraged to update and improve the integrated system and the available CAD tools with ideas of their own.
