         The Microsystems Laboratory is an environment  for  the
         dissemination  of  microprocessor-based-design know-how
         within the Computer Science Department.

         Any such environment is characterized by the  expertise
         and  equipment  that  it  provides.   To  propagate and
         enhance the expertise  the  laboratory  contributes  by
         supporting  courses and projects at Graduate and Under-
         graduate levels.  A  discussion  of  such  courses  and
         their  approach  in  transferring  the know-how to non-
         Electrical Engineering students will be given.

         Hands on experience in designing  a  product  from  the
         conceptual  level  to the first proto-type is of utmost
         importance.  The Laboratory provides ample  opportunity
         in  this respect.  A few of these projects will also be
         described.

         Presentation will terminate with a  discussion  of  the
         equipment available and potential area of work.
