Advanced Design Methodologies for Large-Scale Electronic Circuits

在过去的十年里，设计、测试和制造电子电路的基本方法发生了巨大的变化。本项目旨在更新大学科学与工程学院在电子电路设计领域最近取得的重要进展，目的是让参与者将这些材料带回来并立即将其纳入他们的课程。该项目的第一阶段将在密歇根州立大学（M.S.U.）举行，参与者将在新建成的电子研究与开发实验室（ERDL）接受密集的课堂简报，并获得电路设计和电路测试设备的实验室经验。在第二阶段，参与者将在自己的学校完成设计并准备一份报告。在第三阶段，密歇根州立大学将作为专业知识中心，协助参与者将新材料纳入课程。其中包括至少对每个参与的大学/学院进行一次实地考察，并在密歇根州立大学进行为期一天的研讨会。参与者将被鼓励通过电子邮件和其他适当的方式与密歇根州立大学的教师保持联系，以确保获得的经验可以分享。即使在正式项目结束后，也鼓励寻求建议和分享信息。除了美国国家科学基金会的资金外，参与者所在机构还将为该项目提供大约10%的旅行资金。

The fundamental approach to designing, testing, and manufacturing electronic circuits has changed dramatically in the past decade. This undergraduate faculty enhancement project is intended to update university science and engineering faculty on the critical advances that have taken place recently in the area of electronic circuit design with the intent that participants will take this material back and immediately build it into their curricula. Phase one of this project will be held at Michigan State University (M.S.U.), where participants will receive intensive classroom briefings and gain laboratory experience with circuit design and circuit test equipment in the newly completed Electronic Research and Development Laboratory (ERDL). During phase two, participants will complete designs and prepare a report back at their own schools. During phase three, M.S.U. will serve as a center of expertise and assist the participants as they incorporate this new material into their curricula. Included will be at least one site visit to each participating university /college and a one-day workshop at M.S.U. Participants will be encouraged to keep in touch with each other and with the faculty at M.S.U. via electronic mail and other appropriate means to ensure that experiences gained can be shared. Seeking advice and sharing information will be encouraged even after the formal project has ended. In addition to the NSF funds, participants' institutions will contribute about 10% in travel funds toward the cost of the project.
