                    NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
          FACULTY WORKSHOP ON ELECTRONIC DESIGN AUTOMATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre
Dame will conduct a two-week, project-oriented summer workshop on Electronic
Design Automation for electrical and computer engineering faculty from
July 8 through July 19, 1991.  This workshop is sponsored by the National
Science Foundation.

Objectives
----------
Participants will learn to effectively use electronic design
automation techniques and tools in the undergraduate curriculum to enhance
learning, productivity, and creativity.  A synergistic environment for faculty
interaction will evoke innovative approaches to the teaching of electronic
system design and to the implementation and management of senior-level
capstone design courses.

Structure
---------
Computer and laboratory facilities will be available.  An interweaving of
theory, implementation, and practicum will provide fundamental background
experience in the following areas:

1. Electronic design automation with modern hardware and software as a tool
for accomplishing the complete design cycle for electronic systems, from
conception through construction and test.

2. VLSI and printed circuit board design relationships with respect to
electronic design automation.

3. Development of integrated laboratory facilities with EDA capability for
senior design courses.

Participant selection and eligibility
-------------------------------------
Applicants must be full-time faculty members in Electrical Engineering,
Computer Engineering, or a closely related discipline in an accredited
undergraduate institution.  Minority and female applicants are encouraged to
apply.

Application
-----------
Applications must include the following:

1. A curriculum vita showing educational background and academic/industrial
experience.

2. A one-page statement indicating the applicant's involvement in undergraduate
teaching and development of undergraduate design courses and laboratories, and
the potential impact of participation in the workshop upon both personal
professional development and curriculum enhancement at the home institution.

3. A letter of recommendation from a department head or dean.
