  • Using Net-Software in Design Education
    INTERNATIONAL ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DESIGN EDUCATION CONFERENCE 2-3 SEPTEMBER 2004 DELFT THE NETHERLANDS USING NET-SOFTWARE IN DESIGN EDUCATION Chris Baelus and Guido De Grande ABSTRACT In the early stages of the design process three major activities are involved: designing the concept, resolving the observed critical aspects and modifying the concept as a result of the previous step. This is a circular and iterative process until the final concept is ready for the detailed design phase. It is the purpose of every design method to minimize the total design time and produce well elaborated design concepts. The use of specialized software is of invaluable help in this attempt to reduce design time. A lot of different software is available on the Internet as downloadable freeware, shareware or demo versions. Most of this software has reduced capabilities; however, many software is excellent for educational purposes. We will call this software “Internet Software” or “net-software”. In this presentation two topics with respect to net-software will be discussed: 1. criteria for choosing net-software for educational purposes, and 2. the implementation of net-software in the new bachelor-master curriculum at the Higher Institute of Integrated Product Development (HIIPO) in Antwerp. A major activity in designing products is the early verification of the product concept with respect to structural, thermal and geometrical integrity. This typical verification net-software can be found in different flavours: for different applications, in different levels and with different user interfaces. Finding easy-to-use and efficient net-software is a rather straightforward task, integrating the software in the curriculum is a more difficult task.

  • Simulation Software for Online Teaching of ECE Courses
    Paper ID #25855 Simulation Software for Online Teaching of ECE Courses Dr. Alireza Kavianpour, DeVry University, Pomona Dr. Alireza Kavianpour received his PH.D. Degree from University of Southern California (USC). He is currently Senior Professor at DeVry University, Pomona, CA. Dr. Kavianpour is the author and co-author of over forty technical papers all published in IEEE Journals or referred conferences. Before joining DeVry University he was a researcher at the University of California, Irvine and consultant at Qualcom Inc. His main interests are in the areas of embedded systems and computer architecture. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Simulation software for Online teaching of ECE Courses ABSTRACT Online learning, also known as e-learning, has become an increasingly common choice for many students pursuing an education. Online learning requires the student to participate and learn virtually via computer, as opposed to the traditional classroom environment. Although online learning is not for everyone, it's important for prospective students to determine whether or not it's something they would like to pursue. The following are advantages and disadvantages for online learning: Advantages -Online learning provides flexibility because students are able to work when it's convenient for them. Students can do all the homework from any location as long as they have access to a computer. -A student can learn at his or her own pace. -Degrees can be completed in less time compared to traditional universities. -Students have fewer distractions, and it can be less intimidating to participate in the discussions. -Students have the opportunity to connect with and work alongside students from other locations.

  • Getting Started with Orcad Capture
    1 Lesson 1: Getting Started with OrCAD Capture Lesson Objectives • Discuss design flow using OrCAD Capture • Learn how to start OrCAD Capture • The OrCAD Capture “Start Page” • Open an existing Project • Explore the user interface • Describe project structure • Select and edit objects Cadence Tools Overview May, 2011 OrCAD Capture Version 16.5 1-1 Getting Started with OrCAD Capture Lesson 1 The OrCAD Capture tool provides support for programmable logic design. OrCAD Capture is tightly integrated with the OrCAD and Allegro PCB Editor design, SPECCTRAQuest™ for high-speed circuit analysis, and Advanced Package Designer for multi-chip and single-chip modules. OrCAD Capture supports digital simulation using Verilog® or VHDL models, or analog simulation with PSpice A/D. OrCAD Capture also uses a Cadence OrCAD Component Information System (Cadence OrCAD Capture CIS) to integrate your board-level design with existing in-house part procurement and manufacturing databases. The procedures included within this training guide can be used with both the standard OrCAD Capture application and OrCAD Capture CIS. More Information OrCAD Capture supports programmable logic design by accessing synthesis and simulation tools, and by providing libraries for the most popular FPGA/CPLD vendors. Increased integration provides easy access to NC VHDL Desktop for simulation. Further, OrCAD Capture includes functionality for generating simulation test benches and provides numerous coding samples that you can use when developing your designs and test benches. If you have installed Synplify on your system, you can launch it from within the OrCAD Capture user interface, create a Synplify project, and invoke the tool on your programmable logic design.OrCAD Capture also launches the place-and-route tool set appropriate for the target vendor (provided that the tool set is installed on your computer).
