Systematic Restructure of Digital Logic Design Course

该项目对导论数字逻辑设计的教学方式进行了系统的重组。实践工程师用来进行逻辑设计的相同的基于计算机的工具也被用于学习过程。强调了在课堂上和学生使用工作站进行模拟、计算和优化。重组工作将从两个短期目标开始：开发新的家庭作业问题和其他利用逻辑模拟软件的学习活动，以及为学生提供一个处理数字逻辑设计的多媒体电子知识库。编写的家庭作业问题和描述多媒体知识库的录像带将提供给其他学术机构，以支付复制费用。结果将在教育前沿会议上公布。

This project undertakes a systematic restructuring of how introductory digital logic design is taught. The same computer-based tools used to carry out logic design by practicing engineers is brought to bear on the learning process. The use of workstations in the classroom and by students for simulation, computation and optimization is emphasized. The restructuring effort will begin with two short-term objectives: to develop new homework problems and other learning activities which make use of logic simulation software, and to provide student access to a multimedia electronic knowledgebase dealing with digital logic design. The homework problems developed and a videotape describing the multimedia knowledgebase will be made available to other academic institutions for the cost of duplication. Results will be disseminated at the Frontiers in Education conference.
