Wehave designed a series of experiments to teach fundamentals of full-custom IC design, whichinclude front-end to back-end flow. These labs help IC beginners understand the entirefull-custom design process. Labs are executed in both an undergraduate and advancedgraduate course. The lab experience includes

Cuttingparameters’ effects on temperature rising in turning process were examined. Design of experiment and embeddedthermocouple measurement were applied to cover the cutting parameters and collect the experimental data. Aftercollecting temperature data with full factorial experiment, statistical analysis including analysis of variance(ANOVA), main effect, interactive effect and regression analysis was conducted.

These“products” are conceptualized and designed within a Lego CAD System from a small set of themost commonly used Lego building blocks. Process planning and trajectory planning software isused to determine the build sequence and robot program for assembling the model directly fromthe 3D CAD model.

A major impact of the new equipment is that the number of students per console has rarely exceeded two. This fact in itself makes the laboratory session more meaningful and useful to the students.

They seemto assimilate control systems theory very well and are able to internalize the practical need forcontrols theory. Also, this approach has led to their (students') discovering the fundamentalrelationships between control systems theory and computer aided manufacturing

Once theexperiment has been interfaced with a computer, then the question of developing a suitablegraphical user interface and also accessing the experiment through the Internet arises.
