There are currenty eight courses taught by faculty within EECS
that utilize the Mentor Graphics tools:
A description of each course is included below:
EECS 240 Digital Design I (4).
An introductory course in digital design covering combinational and
sequential logic and machines, computer arithmetic, programmable logic,
memory and I/O devices. Prerequisite: EECS 148, MATH 122. Corequisite:
PHSX 212.
EECS 404 Electronics Design (4).
A lecture-laboratory course in the design of electronic circuits,
including economic aspects. Prerequisite: EECS 301 and EECS 412.
EECS 443 Digital Systems Design (3).
The design of computer systems from the hardware point of view. The
implementation of functional and control units and microprogrammed
control structures. Prerequisite: EECS 312 and EECS 388.
EECS 501 Senior Electronics Design Laboratory I (2).
A lecture/laboratory course which focuses on the design of
specialized electronic circuits. This course provides students with
the opportunity to implement a variety of interesting circuits
according to a given set of design specifications and constraints.
This course sets the stage for the follow-on Senior Electronics
Project Laboratory, in which students will be using the circuits
designed in this course to implement larger systems and to solve
open ended problems. Prerequisite: EECS 301 and EECS 412.
EECS 502 Senior Design Laboratory (3).
A lecture/laboratory course involving the design and implementation of
prototypes of electrical and computer type products and systems.
The project specifications require consideration of ethics,
economics, health, manufacturing, and safety.
Prerequisite: EECS 412 and EECS 501.
A two semester lecture/laboratory course involving the
specification, design, implementation, analysis, and documentation
of a significant hardware and software computer system.
Laboratory work involves software, hardware, and hardware/software trade-offs.
Project requirements include consideration of
ethics, economics, manufacturing, safety, and health aspects of
product development. Can be taken only during the senior year.
Prerequisite: EECS 443, EECS 448, and EECS 461.
A two semester lecture/laboratory course involving the
specification, design, implementation, analysis, and documentation
of a significant hardware and software computer system.
Laboratory work involves software, hardware, and hardware/
software trade-offs. Project requirements include consideration of
ethics, economics, manufacturing, safety, and health aspects of
product development. Can be taken only during the senior year.
Prerequisite: EECS 443, EECS 448, EECS 461, and EECS 678.
The design, analysis, simulation, and layout of integrated circuit systems
using CMOS technology. Students will carry out a design from
initial concept through mask layout. The use of computer aided
design tools is emphasized.
Prerequisite: EECS 312 and EECS 470.
