| | 5. | COURSE OBJECTIVES |
| | 1. Students will be familiar with how to build software emulators for electronic components such as voltage and current |
| | sources, meters, oscilloscopes, as well as basic electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, etc. (Criteria 3(a),(c),(e)) |
| | |
| | 2. Students will be familiar with how to build an event-driven electronics simulation system by "wiring" together such |
| | software emulators for electronic devices. (Criteria 3(c),(e)) |
| | 3. Students will be familiar with the efficiency issues connected with building engineering simulations of this type, and with |
| | how to use object orientation in the software without sacrificing efficiency. (Criteria 3(c),(e),(k)) |
| | 4. Students will be familiar with the software design techniques needed to build such systems, such as using a standard |
| | modeling language, loosely coupled layered software architectures, event-driven programming, multithreading, design-for- |
| | reuse, and associated design patterns. (Criterion 3(k)) |
| | 5. Students will be familiar with applying industry-standard software engineering technologies and tools in other engineering |
| | and scientific applications that are similar to electronics simulation systems. (Criterion 3(k)) |
