Computer Usage:Mentor Graphics "Design Architect", "Quick Sim II" and "Model Sim" are exercised on Sun workstations for schematic and VHDL description and simulation of digital circuits.
Laboratory Usage:Each laboratory station is equipped with a digital logic breadboard unit containing a power supply, timers, switches and indicators, a Tektronix logic analyzer, and a dot-matrix printer. Workstations in the College of Engineering Computer Laboratory are used to simulate circuit designs.

Laboratory assignments progress from investigation of the properties of basic logic gates and flip flops to the design of arithmetic and sequential logic circuits using medium-scale integrated circuit devices.

Special Consideration:In the hardware laboratory, students work in groups of two, but maintain individual laboratory notebooks and submit individual reports. Individual work and reports are required for experiments and projects using the Mentor Graphics computer-aided design tools.
