This course wouldalso introduce students to aesthetic and ergonomic design issues, which, while touched upon intraditional design courses, have never been a major factor in the overall design process. Overtime this course has evolved to one that also covers advanced surface modeling CAD strategiesfor geometry creation, both additive and subtractive methods for rapid prototyping and differentmethods of reverse engineering existing products. In addition, the acquisition of this technologyand equipment has come to benefit both students in other courses and departments within theCollege.

The first project was on design and formal verification of a 5-stage pipelined DLX processor, implementing the six basic instruction types—register-register-ALU, register- immediate-ALU, store, load, jump, and branch. The second project was on extending the processor from project one with ALU exceptions, a return-from-exception instruction, and branch prediction; each of the resulting models was formally verified. The third project was on design and formal ver- ification of a dual-issue superscalar version of the DLX from
