Planned courses include a laboratory-based course in modelingand measurement and a course in RF integrated circuit design.In this paper we report on courses in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), signal integrity (SI),and high-speed design that will provide the foundations of the high-speed design program beingdeveloped . The needs of both disciplines, electrical engineering and computer engineering,must be kept in view. In the discussion below, therefore, keep in mind that, since electricalengineering and computer

For example, agreat deal of work has been done to investigate and confirm the usefulness of learningcommunities, which are being implemented at several universities.5,14 Other universities, such asTexas A&M and the Air Force Academy, are working very hard to provide their students with anintegrated curriculum that combines engineering
