On the Development and Teaching of an Analog Mixed Signal-Based Curriculum with Emphasis in Design and Testing Techniques at Prairie View A&M University

We developed an analog mixed signal-based curriculum at Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU). The objective is to meet the demanded need of industry such as Texas Instruments, Motorola, and other semiconductor, electronics and communication industries by training students in this new area. The intensive exposure of the students to state-of-the-art mixed signal semiconductor electronics testing and design equipment, technologies, softwares and techniques prepares the students to be highly productive once they graduate. Therefore, less time is spent in coming up to speed in the work place. This curriculum development is for the training of highly talented students in the area of analog mixed signals (AMS) with emphasis in design and testing techniques. Three new courses and a new laboratory course have been developed, two at the undergraduate level including the laboratory course (Analog Mixed Signal Testing Techniques I & II, and Analog Mixed Signal Testing Techniques Lab); and the other at the graduate level (Advanced Analog Mixed Signal Testing Techniques). These courses complement the rich curriculum presently offered in the department of electrical engineering at PVAMU. A new AMS laboratory has also been developed to support both instruction and research. This helps to create an academic instructional and research infrastructure for mixed signal-based projects and research in the areas of testing.
