. However,recent studies conducted at Michigan Technological University (MTU) indicate that merely work-ing with 3-D software does not improve the spatial abilities of students by a significant amountwhen compared to the gains achieved by activities associated with traditional graphics instruction(i.e., sketching, orthographic projection, isometric drawing, etc.). In the fall of 1998 a study wasconducted at MTU to ascertain whether a student’s level of spatial ability is related to their abilityto learn and use 3-D solid modeling software and/or 2-dimensional drafting software. In thisstudy, students were administered three different tests designed to assess their level of spatial abil-ity at the beginning of a computer aided drafting and design

EE 548 - Low Power VLSI Circuit DesignWith the rapid development of mobile computing, as well as the energy conservationconsideration, low power VLSI design has become a very important issue in the VLSIindustry. In this course, VLSI power models are introduced so that students have an in-depthunderstanding about the power consumption of VLSI circuits, and how we can reduce thepower dissipation. A variety of low-power design methods are employed to reduce powerdissipation of VLSI chips. This course is designed to cover low-power design methodologiesat various design levels (from system level to transistor level). The basic low-power designstrategies are introduced. Students use the learned knowledge to design low-power VLSIcircuits.Upon
