Perancangan Sistem Informasi Untuk Perawatan Dan Perbaikan Modul Pratikum Berbasis Web

Microprocessor and microcontroller laboratories are type III laboratories that are in the electronics engineering study program majoring in electrical engineering, this laboratory serves the activities of student practices for microprocessor system courses, microcontroller systems and interfaces I and II and very large scale intergration (VLSI) programmable logic devices and programmable electronics. Laboran as manager and person in charge of the laboratory, every month submits reports on equipment support facilities and practice modules made manually to the head of the laboratory. Every day the laboratory staff must examine all equipment activities one by one such as computers and practice modules to find out the latest conditions. Seeing the problems above, we need a system solution that can provide fast, accurate, complete and integrated information as a whole. The purpose of this study is to produce an information system design for maintenance and repairs to microprocessor and microcontroller laboratories. The method used in this study analyzes the current system to create a conceptual model so as to produce a database diagram. Next, the design of the display includes the design of the application interface such as the reporter display, laboratory performance reports etc. To further maximize laboratory use and quality teaching and learning is expected that students, lecturers and staff will also participate by reporting damage to supporting facilities at the microprocessor and microcontroller laboratory

An interactive multimedia learning environment for VLSI built with COSMOS

This paper presents Bigger Bits, an interactive multimedia learning environment that teaches students about VLSI within the context of computer electronics. The system was built with COSMOS (Content Oriented semantic Modelling Overlay Scheme), which is a modelling scheme that we developed for enabling the semantic content of multimedia to be used within interactive systems

A project to transfer technology from NASA centers in support of industrial innovation in the midwest

A technology transfer program utilizing graduate students in mechanical engineering at the University of Kansas was initiated in early 1981. The objective of the program was to encourage industrial innovation in the Midwest through improved industry/university cooperation and the utilization of NASA technology. A related and important aspect of the program was the improvement of graduate engineering education through the involvement of students in the identification and accomplishment of technological objectives in cooperation with scientists at NASA centers and engineers in industry. The pilot NASA/University Industrial Innovation Program was an outstanding success based on its ability to: attract top graduate students; secure industry support; and stimulate industry/university cooperation leading to enhanced university capability and utilization of advanced technology by industry

Innovative teaching of IC design and manufacture using the Superchip platform

In this paper we describe how an intelligent chip architecture has allowed a large cohort of undergraduate students to be given effective practical insight into IC design by designing and manufacturing their own ICs. To achieve this, an efficient chip architecture, the “Superchip”, has been developed, which allows multiple student designs to be fabricated on a single IC, and encapsulated in a standard package without excessive cost in terms of time or resources. We demonstrate how the practical process has been tightly coupled with theoretical aspects of the degree course and how transferable skills are incorporated into the design exercise. Furthermore, the students are introduced at an early stage to the key concepts of team working, exposure to real deadlines and collaborative report writing. This paper provides details of the teaching rationale, design exercise overview, design process, chip architecture and test regime

A Survey of Digital Systems Curriculum and Pedagogy in Electrical and Computer Engineering Programs

Digital Systems is one of the basic foundational courses in Electrical and Computer Engineering. One of the challenges in designing and modifying the curriculum for the course is the fast pace of technology change in the area. TTL chips that were in vogue with students building physical circuits, have given way to new paradigms like FPGA based synthesis with hardware description languages such as VHDL. However, updating a course is not as simple as just changing the book, and changing the syllabus. A large amount of work needs to be done in terms of selecting the book that will accommodate the course, the device that should be used, the laboratory content, and even how much time needs to be dedicated for every topic. All these issues, and many more makes it hard to take the decision of updating the course. For that reason, this paper surveys the pedagogy and methodology that is used to teach the digital systems curriculum at different universities. The goal is that it will serve as a resource for faculty looking to update or revamp their digital systems curricula. Within the document they will find a comparative study by electrical and computer engineering program, a list of textbooks, and the devices most commonly used.Cockrell School of Engineerin
