Prof. F. Mavaddat of this department will speak on ``The Microsystems Laboratory: An Alternative''. TIME: 3.30 PM ROOM: MC 5158 _A_B_S_T_R_A_C_T 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. March 2, 1983
