AC 2008-1952: BASSWOOD BRIDGESHarvey Abramowitz, Purdue University Calumet HARVEY ABRAMOWITZ Harvey Abramowitz received a BS in Materials Science, and MS and EngScD degrees in Extractive Metallurgy/Mineral Engineering, all from Columbia University. After graduating, he was a Research Engineer for Inland Steel, where he worked on metal recovery from waste streams. He is currently Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University Calumet. Prof. Abramowitz teaches courses in materials science and engineering, solid waste management, introduction to engineering design, and the freshman experience
. Engineeringsocieties were invited to comment and contributions were received from IEEE-USA,AIChE, ASCE, and the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers(ASABE) and incorporated into the working outline. The American Council ofEngineering Companies (ACEC), ASME, the American Society of Heating,Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and AAEES were alsoinvited, but did not provide comments prior to the October 2013 completion ofEngineering Body of Knowledge.However, ASME offered comments after publication. NSPE hopes that other societies,whether or not they have already commented, will do so in response to their study of theEBOK and thoughts about its possible implications for them.Descriptions of the capabilities and example

functions were developed for incorporation into a senior-level elective /graduate-level course on Digital System Modeling with VHDL. The lecture notes includeddiscussion of both bounded-delay and delay-insensitive asynchronous paradigms, highlightingthe differences between the two and comparing each to the synchronous, clocked paradigm, asoverviewed in Section 2.1. Following this general discussion, one specific asynchronousparadigm, NULL Convention Logic (NCL), was studied in detail. This included a generalintroduction to NCL, as overviewed in Section 2.2, as well as specific presentations andassignments on the fundamental NCL components (i.e. registration, combinational logic, andcompletion detection), input-completeness and observability, dual
