Sorry, folks- part of the file got lost. here's the straight dope: THIRD ANNUAL WORKSHOP ON INTERACTIVE COMPUTING:CAE:ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH 10/24-26/84 LOCATION: Kresge Conference Center 11th Floor Benedum Engin- eering Hall HOTEL: Univrsity Inn Forbes Ave at McKee Place (412)683-6000 REGISTRATION: CAE '84 POB 639 Silver Spring, MD 20901 The meeting emphasizes computer aided engineering methodologies and their impact on EE education, particularly as applied to vlsi design as well as design tools applicable to other electronic systems. Three special features highlight this year's activities. The first is an in-depth tutorial on engineering workstations which surveys the state-of-the-art in this radically expanding area. This presentation was very well received recently at the First Inter- national Conference on Computers and Applications in Beijing, China. The second feature is a session covering recent initiatives by GE and IBM to assist departments in the development of contemporary courses in integrated circuits which also include fabrication services. In addition, the more mature relationship between TI and several different universities will be presented, along with a report on the NSF Fast Turnaround Facility. The third feature is a panel presentation on the use of personal computers in EE curricula, with panelists drawn from schools with different views on how computing resources should be provided . The schools represented include Steven's Institute, Drexel, Carnegie-Mellon, VPISU, Michigan and Clarkson. in addition to thses features, the Workshop will provide presentations of computer aided engineering software materials and systems, courseware projects and new programmatic thrusts.
