Abstract :
We have developed a VLSI curriculum based on personal computers that can be used at teaching institutions and corporations alike. The curriculum consists of three courses: a capstone VLSI course, an analog design course, and an advanced digital design synthesis course. No workstations are necessary, laboratories may be given without teaching assistants, and the entire system be used with minimal required infrastructure support. Emphasis of the teaching curriculum is on design methodology and practicable applications
