The students design analog VLSI layouts, extract thenetlists and simulate the circuit behavior. The transistor sizing in analog VLSI layouts is alsodiscussed.Upon the completion of this course, students are able to design and analyze basic analog andmixed-signal CMOS VLSI circuits. They get to know various analog/mixed-signal VLSIcircuits such as current sources and sinks, amplifiers, S/H circuits, switching-capacitancecircuits, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, etc. They are expected to be ableto design analog VLSI layouts, decide transistor sizing, and

as “teaching as research”, the Wendt Commons staff will draw on keyprinciples that advocate for change in the traditional model for classroom instruction. Ratherthan providing an exhaustive review of the literature, the following presents a summary of thekey concepts on which our service model is based.Smith, et al., in their review of classroom-based pedagogies of engagement, point out thatlearning outcomes depend more on students’ approach to learning and faculty delivery ofmaterial rather than the content itself11. Drawing on research from the past 100+ years, theauthors note that active-learning approaches have been developed and injected into engineeringclassrooms since the 1940’s – yet there has been very little actual change in the

Most (69%) view it as a sciencededicated to solving problems, creating, and building things to satisfy needs. Only 19%considered engineering specifically as a career or field of study. While we cannot infer that theirviews are driving their interest, it is interesting to notice that 81% of these students indicated thatthey like engineering and will consider studying it.
