Development of Digital Systems Laboratory For Engineering Technology Majors at the University of Arkansas Little Rock

数字系统设计实验室是一门以项目为导向的课程，向阿肯色大学小石城大学电子和计算机工程技术专业的学生介绍组合、同步时序和异步时序电路设计。在这些项目中，学生被要求最小化布尔函数，并通过硬接线来验证它们的设计。该项目将现有的实验室设施升级为使用可编程逻辑器件设计电路，并允许对这些器件进行编程。这种方法将增强现有的传统门和小尺寸器件的逻辑功能实现。这些编程设备被用来测试更大的设计问题。学生在实验室中使用了10台配有可编程逻辑器件软硬件外围设备的计算机工作站。

The Digital Systems Design Laboratory is a project oriented course that introduces combinational, synchronous sequential and asynchronous sequential circuit design to majors in the Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology programs at the University of Arkansas Little Rock. In these projects, the students are required to minimize boolean functions and verify their design by hard-wiring the circuit. This project upgrades the present laboratory facility to design circuits using programmable logic devices and also allow programming of these devices. This approach will augment the existing traditional gate and small scale device realization of logic functions. These programmed devices are used to test the larger design problems. Ten computer workstations with programmable logic device software and hardware peripherals are used by the students in the laboratory.
