Instructional Material on Electromagnetic Compatibility, Signal Integrity, and High Speed Design

工程-电气(55)这个项目是密苏里大学罗拉分校和罗斯-胡尔曼理工学院的合作项目，正在开发和传播一个本科生高速电子电路设计课程，强调通过硬件设计重点进行知识整合。电子线路功能、密度和速度的提高要求毕业生拥有新的知识和技能。为了在这种环境中有效地工作，从设计到应用再到安装领域的电气和计算机工程师将需要彻底了解电磁基础、电磁兼容性、信号完整性以及原理的硬件应用。该项目正在创建实验室和课堂教学模块，其中包括背景材料、理论基础、解决方案示例、扩展讨论、现代应用、问题练习、CAD模拟和设计问题。模块化结构提供了灵活性，不仅便于传播到其他大学，而且还传播到工业界。信号完整性的远程教育课程，现实世界EMI控制的印刷电路板设计教科书的第二版，在线网络材料存储库，会议演示，期刊文章和教师研讨会将向教育和工业的广泛受众提供传播。特殊教育模块也正在开发中，专门用于为高三学生提供的为期三周的密集暑期计划。正在开发评估工具，用于评估有效性，这些模块将在阿克伦大学、华盛顿州立大学和北达科他州立大学的其他三个环境中进行评估。更广泛的影响包括在学术界和工业界传播这些材料，以及高中推广工作。

Engineering - Electrical (55)This project, a collaboration between the University of Missouri-Rolla and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, is developing and disseminating an undergraduate high-speed electronic circuit design program that emphasizes knowledge integration through a hardware design focus. Increases in electronic circuit functionality, density, and speeds have combined to require that graduates have new knowledge and skills. To work effectively in this environment, electrical and computer engineers in areas from design to application to installation will require a thorough understanding of electromagnetic foundations, electromagnetic compatibility, and signal integrity as well as hardware applications of the principles. The project is creating laboratory and classroom instructional modules that include background material, theoretical foundations, solution examples, extended discussion, modern applications, problem exercises, CAD simulations, and design problems. The modular structure provides flexibility and facilitates the dissemination not only to other universities but also to industry. A distance education course in signal integrity, a 2nd edition of the textbook on PCB design for real world EMI control, on-line web material repositories, conference presentations, journal articles, and faculty workshops will provide dissemination to a broad audience in education and industry. Special educational modules are also being developed specifically for use in an intensive three-week summer program for high school seniors. Evaluation instruments are being developed and used to assess the effectiveness, and the modules will be evaluated in three other settings at the University of Akron, Washington State University, and North Dakota State University. Broader impacts include the dissemination of the materials both in academia and in industry and the high school outreach effort.
