A contract between the Pittsburgh Digital Greenhouse and The University of Pittsburgh called for the development of a set of three (3) continuing education courses. The original objectives, anticipated student background, and schedule of each course are briefly described in the rest of this section. The first developed course in the three-course sequence is an SoC Overview course. This overview course was pro-jected to have a length of one to two days and was targeted at a broader SoC design audience without strong integrated circuits (IC) design background. Typical attendees of this course include system, hardware, and software engineers, as well as engineering and general managers with limited tech-nical background. The primary objective was to provide a basic understanding of the SoC design process, of the asso-ciated benefits and risks, and of other management, business and non-technical issues. The next two courses are named System Level SoC De-sign and Structural Level SoC Design. These courses are tar-geted towards design engineers and first level managers with either board or IC design experience, and who want to tran-sition to the design of SoC's. These courses focused on dif-ferent aspects of the SoC design process and were designed to be deliverable in a stand-alone fashion. However, atten-dees to these two courses were encouraged to attend an SoC Overview course first. The System and Structural level courses are intended as four or five-day-long. These increased course lengths are due to the inclusion of laboratory exercises where the stu-dents participate in guided SoC designs. Commercial CAD tools are employed in the laboratory sections and, since the majority of the students are unfamiliar with the CAD packages, these laboratory exercises are designed in a CAD tool tutorial manner. In other words, proper CAD tool use was additionally emphasized in the laboratory exercises. |
