Traditionally, the laboratory portion of this course culminated in a final project of the student's choosing. Recently, we replaced the final project with a robotics project, where students built a microcontroller-based robot and competed in a collection of competitions. Placement in each competition was considered to determine the students' project grades. We believe this approach fostered a spirit of competition that encouraged students to increase their level of effort, provided a more uniform system of grading, and better conveyed the course material. Here we document these efforts and attempt to provide readers with a framework for implementing a similar competition in their microcomputers or embedded systems courses.","PeriodicalId":241566,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Microelectronic Systems Education","volume":"1 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117205675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modeling, simulation and test methodologies are unable to keep pace. Custom test solutions require significant resources to implement and are often not reusable. Devices not performing as expected are difficult to diagnose. Design-for-testability techniques familiar to silicon microelectronics designers may offer solutions for validating and debugging designs. What is desirable is a system design and operational algorithm optimization in a rapid prototyping environment that incorporates design for testability considerations. The university research setting is particularly well suited for developing such an environment. In this paper, we review some of the generic tests performed on microsystems-based sensor systems by graduate students. Taking a research infrastructure perspective, we then propose improvements to proof of concept environments in universities to facilitate addition of design-for-test features into heterogeneous microsystems.","PeriodicalId":241566,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Microelectronic Systems Education","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131795516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

NoC-based manycore systems demand modifications in the existing computer related teaching curricula.

We have also developed a full-custom design project that was used as a course project in teaching “Digital VLSI Design” course at San Francisco State University. The design project is to design a 4-bit ripple carry adder in a full custom fashion from schematic to layout in the generic 90nm CMOS technology. The developed design flow and the course project provide a very effective hands-on approach to teaching digital IC design and VLSI design in advanced CMOS technologies. The team project was conducted in a competition based format providing great enthusiasm and motivation among the students, enhancing their learning experience. The competition was to achieve the best design quality defined as the product of following design metrics: propagation delay, power dissipation, and layout area for the 4-bit ripple carry adder. The winning team achieved a delay of 82.2ps, power dissipation of 30.7 μW, and layout area of 112.8 μm2 for the 4-bit adder.","PeriodicalId":241566,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Microelectronic Systems Education","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133130315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concept of using optical processes to perform various functions is known as optoelectronics, electro-optics or photonics, and represents a new area for the future. Photonics harnessing the potential of light across a broad spectrum of applications including communications and information processing and optoelectronics is the alliance of optics and electronics. Photonics has been identified as a key technology influencing a wide range of innovative products in communications, transportation, medicine, manufacturing, construction, computing security, and defense. It is generally expected that optoelectronics and light (photons) will replace electrons as the principal information carrier in the near future [1].

The project requires students to design the physical and media access control layers of a protocol based on IEEE 802.11, but simplified to make it feasible in a semester-long course. Specifically, the physical layer uses a VHF link with Bipolar Phase Shift Keying that can be implemented using the FPGA and a small analog front end. The protocol implements the basic Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance mechanism of IEEE 802.11 while leaving out more advanced features. The resulting project requires that students learn the concepts of the design process, apply their knowledge of several different ECE topics, and implement a complex design.","PeriodicalId":241566,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Microelectronic Systems Education","volume":"195 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134432351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The restructuring of this component of the course shows promise based on preliminary results. The students are obtaining higher grades and gave the practical component a more favorable rating. Additionally the restructuring exercise allows for the addition of several more experiments enabling us to cover a broader portion of the course in the practical component. This paper looks at the changes that were made in the restructuring exercise and present preliminary results on the improvement in student's grade which can be attributed to this exercise. Over 16% of students are now obtaining grades over 80% compare to 0% before the restructuring exercise. Results from students' evaluations of the practical component of the course before and after the restructuring exercise is also presented, which shows an effective 24% improvement in the student rating.","PeriodicalId":241566,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Microelectronic Systems Education","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131910376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
