Design Tools for Real-World Modelling in an Electrical Engineering Curriculum

这个项目涉及计算机设计工具 (CAD/CAE/CASE），以支持“系统”的全面集成 将“工程”技术引入电子和计算机 从大二开始的工程本科课程 水平 这是一个创新的方法，直接解决 需要提高教学设计技能的有效性。 的 新工具为八门本科课程提供了一条线索 连接硬件和软件，连接课堂理论， 实验室经验，并强调建模方面的 设计 受影响的课程从大二开始， 高年级的时候 所选设备将提供高 技术工具，包括硬件和软件，使用国家- 最先进的建模技术。 这些工具的使用将 使学生能够通过模拟和仿真进行创作， 真实世界问题的相关和准确模型。 与 使用这些教育工具，我们将能够有效地培训 和高效的工程师，以科普质量和时间， 这是美国工业界目前最关心的市场问题。

The project is concerned with computer design tools (CAD/CAE/CASE) to support the total integration of "systems engineering" techniques into the electrical and computer engineering undergraduate curriculum beginning at the sophomore level. It is an innovative approach that directly addresses the need to improve the effectiveness of teaching design skills. The new tools provided a thread through eight undergraduate courses to link hardware and software, to connect classroom theory with laboratory experiences, and to emphasize the modeling aspect of design. The courses affected extend from the sophomore through the senior years. The equipment selected will provide high technology tools, both hardware and software, that use the state- of-the-art modelling techniques. The use of these tools will enable students to create through simulation and emulation, relevant and accurate models of real-world problems. With the use of these educational tools we will be able to train effective and productive engineers to cope with the quality and time-to- market issues that are major concerns in U.S. industry today.
