Simulated Laboratory in Digital Logic.
Cleaver, Thomas G.
Design of computer circuits used to be a pencil and paper task followed by laboratory tests, but logic circuit design can now be done in half the time as the engineer accesses a program which simulates the behavior of real digital circuits, and does all the wiring and testing on his computer screen. A simulated laboratory in digital logic has been proposed at the University of Louisville (Kentucky) in order to provide students, who presently do not have access to such software tools and workstations because of their expense and complexity, with a simplified and easy-to-learn digital logic design program that runs on an inexpensive microcomputer. This laboratory will provide students with experience with modern techniques and equipment, the opportunity to design the complex circuitry this equipment makes possible, and the opportunity to learn how to deal with the timing problems so common in complex digital circuits. The logic simulator program, Robot Odyssey I, has been acquired and a laboratory manual written. Evaluation of the laboratory and design of suitable measurements of student mastery of behavioral objectives are still needed. The course proposal and syllabus serve as an introduction to the laboratory manual, which makes up the major part of this report. (MES)
