To successfully usecommercial tools like the Cadence products, a high-end workstation laboratory with enough seatsto support engineering courses is required. Although it is possible to run these Cadence tools on aSparc II, it is recommended that as least a Sparc 5 is used with 32MB of memory. The laboratorywill require systems administration for maintenance and software upgrades. Cadence providesCNU with regular upgrades as part of our annual agreement which costs $5,000/year. Usersshould plan regular upgrades to keep current with EDA technology, but be careful not to upgradeduring the semester in case something goes wrong.The learning curve

, Students, and Life Beyond EngineeringAbstractThis Work In Progress paper describes an effort to support first-year engineering students byconnecting them with other students and providing a space to discuss the relationship betweentheir first-year design course and life beyond the course. The engineering design course allowsstudents to work on a real-world project and exposes them to a broad range of ideas and skillsthat are important in engineering. Many of these – such as communication, planning, teamwork,prioritization, and dealing with failure – are also very relevant to life beyond engineering.“Connections” is an optional supplement to this required design course that engineering studentstake during their first
programs.Unfortunately, PVT experiments are not suited to the laboratory environment for undergraduatestudents because of the safety risks associated with the elevated pressure and temperatureconditions and the explosive substances being studied. In addition, the extensive equipmentrequirements and associated maintenance costs can also be prohibitive.To address the need for students to understand PVT measurements, several professors (mostrecently Dr. Steven Bryant) at the University of Texas at Austin had used a PVT simulationprogram developed in the mid-1980s in the laboratory section of a fluid behavior course. Whilethe old simulation was powerful and conceptually attractive, the user interface was dated.Students had difficulty using the application and had

electronics. Theory and bestindustry practice must be in balance when mastering these skills. Presently, we devote separatecourses to each skill and somehow think that learning each skill very well will somehowmagically enable the student to critically think and integrate all to solve a real-world problem.This approach is ineffective. As a result, the ABET-required senior capstone multidisciplinarydesign course too often becomes a design-build-test exercise with the emphasis on just gettingsomething done. Students rarely break out of their disciplinary comfort zone and thus fail toexperience true multidisciplinary, model-based system design. Two courses were created toaddress this.
