Abstract :
An attempt has been made to introduce VLSI design education into the traditional undergraduate electrical engineering curriculum at the State University of New York, New Paltz, through an innovative one-semester digital VLSI design course sequence. The emphasis in VLSI education is on full custom design, thereby exposing undergraduate students to the lower levels of design. The course is compatible with the requirements of the MOSIS silicon foundry for chip fabrication
