这项建议将加强高年级的课程， 通过建立高性能工作站， 实验室和分配项目使用的工作站和 专门的软件包。具体课程和 课程改进如下。(1)一条新的路线， 系统性能建模，将使用各种 模拟工具，用于模拟和分析计算机系统， 学生项目将被开发。(2)计算机图形 课程将通过纳入PHIG标准得到加强 和任务利用PHIG软件包。(3)的 数值分析课程将扩大到包括使用一个 现代数值分析程序包的解决方案和 代表性问题的图表， 符号计算(4)建模与仿真课程 将使用复杂的模拟工具来设计更详细的 和图形增强的模型。(5)数据通信 课程将使用专门设计的网络模拟工具， 引入以前不可能伪“动手”项目。 (6)交互式LISP，可从University of 德克萨斯州，将允许在LISP中增强功能，人工 智能和编程语言课程。（七） 大学生将被鼓励使用工作站， 为完成拟议的研究项目提供了工具，但 由于缺乏资源而无法完成。(8)如有可能， 软件，例如CASE工具、电路模拟器、C++、PROLOG， 将获得数据库，并将项目纳入 相应的类。

This proposal will enhance the curriculum in upper division major courses by establishing a high performance workstation laboratory and assigning projects using the workstations and specialized software packages. The specific courses and curricular enhancements are as follows. (1) a new course, systems performance modelling, which will use a variety of simulation tools to model and analyze computer systems in student projects will be developed. (2) The computer graphics course will be enhanced through inclusion of the PHIG standard and assignments utilizing a PHIG software package. (3) The numerical analysis course will be expanded to include use of a modern numerical analysis programming package for solution and graphing of representative problems and the inclusion of symbolic computations. (4) The modelling and simulation course will use sophisticated simulation tools to design more detailed and graphically enhanced models. (5) The data communications course will use specially designed network simulation tools to introduce pseudo "hands-on" projects not previously possible. (6) Interactive LISP, available free from the University of Texas, will allow enhanced capabilities in the LISP, artificial intelligence, and programming languages courses. (7) Undergraduates will be encouraged to use the workstations and tools provided to complete research projects proposed but not completed due to lack of resources. (8) If possible, additional software such as CASE tools, circuit simulators, C++, PROLOG, and databases will be acquired and projects incorporated into the corresponding classes.
