The aim of this project is to configure six networked engineering workstations with high resolution color monitors, two plotters and a printer to be used as laboratory equipment in support of a course in VLSI digital and analog circuit design. The equipment will allow undergraduate electrical engineering students to model, design, and simulate and produce masks for VLSI circuits. Fabrication of the circuits through MOSIS will close the design loop: concept-design-layout-simulation-testing. The project is significant from several standpoints: (1) a laboratory with this equipment and coordinated with lectures around appropriate material will quickly teach students how to design rather than simply analyze, (2) it will be a good teaching vehicle to bring together basic scientific and engineering principles in electronics, device physics, digital systems, processing, and signal theory that are often taught independent of one another in other courses, and (3) it will remove the mystery of complex designs and be a good mechanism to inspire and build student confidence.

该项目的目的是配置具有高分辨率彩色监视器，两个绘图仪和一台打印机的六个网络工程工作站，用于支持VLSI数字和模拟电路设计课程的实验室设备。 该设备将允许本科生的电气工程专业的学生对VLSI电路进行建模，设计和模拟和制作口罩。 通过摩西肌制造电路将关闭设计循环：概念设计 - 模拟测试。 The project is significant from several standpoints: (1) a laboratory with this equipment and coordinated with lectures around appropriate material will quickly teach students how to design rather than simply analyze, (2) it will be a good teaching vehicle to bring together basic scientific and engineering principles in electronics, device physics, digital systems, processing, and signal theory that are often taught independent of one another in other courses, and (3) it will remove the mystery of complex designs and be a good mechanism to激发并建立学生的信心。
