This document summarizes an experimental VLSI design course taught by Lynn Conway at MIT in 1978. The course aimed to teach students VLSI design basics in half a semester and have them complete a real design project in the second half using early computer-based design tools. Student projects were merged into a multi-project chip and fabricated off-site. When the course succeeded in having students implement complex digital designs within months, it demonstrated the potential of new VLSI design methods and tools developed by Mead and Conway. The course also advanced rapid chip prototyping methods that led to national infrastructure like MOSIS for university research.

Connective tissue is the most abundant tissue in the body and performs many essential functions. It consists of cells and an extracellular matrix of fibers and ground substance. There are several types of connective tissue including loose connective tissue found in skin and around organs, dense connective tissue in tendons and ligaments, cartilage, bone, and blood. The main cell types are fibroblasts, macrophages, mast cells, adipocytes, and leukocytes. Connective tissue disorders are often autoimmune in nature and involve inflammation of connective tissues and blood vessels.

Asynchronous Learning In The Small Engineering ClassroomAllison Koehn
Two small engineering courses used asynchronous learning technology to facilitate student-instructor and student-student interaction. Students completed homework assignments electronically by posting, executing, reporting, submitting, and receiving graded assignments via personal computers and the network. While this extended access to instructors, the small class sizes did not provide enough students to routinely facilitate intensive online discussions. However, asynchronous tools helped student groups work together to complete assignments and papers by exchanging materials electronically. Instructors found electronic grading of homework beneficial until long reports made on-screen reviewing difficult.

Efficient implementations of machine vision algorithms using a dynamically ty...Jan Wedekind
This document presents an approach to implementing machine vision algorithms using a dynamically typed programming language (Ruby). It discusses developing a Ruby library for efficient I/O and array operations to facilitate implementations of common machine vision algorithms. The author demonstrates that with a just-in-time compiler for real-time performance and integrated I/O devices, Ruby preserves expressiveness while providing good run-time performance for machine vision applications.
The document describes the origins of the first modern Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offered by Stanford University in 2011. It explains that these MOOCs, which attracted over 100,000 students each, built upon years of experimentation with online and blended learning by Stanford researchers like Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng. They were influenced by pioneers in online education like Sal Khan and lynda.com. While MOOCs achieved widespread popularity in 2011, their development into highly scalable online learning platforms that could reach large, global audiences was the result of gradual innovation over many years by an international community of educators.

Addressing and Implementing Effective Methods for Online Teaching and TrainingAllison Selby
http://alliselby.edublogs.org/
Presenting different methodologies we use for addressing and implementing effective methods for online teaching and training. Our goal is really to create significant learning experiences for our students and we want to keep them engaged in learning the material. We want to create a high energy environment for learning in the course room and allow our students to consider how these concepts that we are presenting to them in the course can be applied to their professional and personal environments. The Web 2.0 tools encourages to students to share information and knowledge within the course. This builds community, team skills, peer interactions. As students become validated by their peers and share knowledge and information, it increases their self-concept. Web 2.0 content generated by our students and faculty include welcome videos, project and feedback assessment, demonstrations, and student presentations for both end of term projects and client presentations.

1. THE M.I.T. 1978
VLSI SYSTEM DESIGN COURSE
by Lynn Conway
Copyright @ 2000-2007, Lynn Conway. All Rights Reserved
[Update: 11-14-07]
This course was an important milestone in the development, demonstration and evaluation of the
Mead-Conway structured VLSI design methods. Lynn Conway conceptualized and planned the
course during the late spring and summer of '78, and taught the course while serving as Visiting
Associate Professor of EECS at MIT in the fall of '78 and early '79.
The textbook for the course was a nearly-completed draft of "Introduction to VLSI Systems" by
Mead and Conway. The text was being written and edited at the time using the Alto computers at
Xerox PARC. Copies of the draft text were printed up for all course participants using the laser
printers at PARC (with color plates reproduced on new color copiers there). In addition to the
textbook, Lynn developed very detailed lecture notes for this course, and taken together all these
materials provided a comprehensive plan for such courses. Lynn compiled these materials into an
"Instructors' Guidebook", and that guidebook was later used to implement similar courses by
faculty members at many other universities during the following several years.
This new form of course was aimed at EECS seniors and grad students. The goal was for them to
learn all basics of VLSI system design in half a semester, then do a real design during the rest of
the semester using the very basic computer-based tools available at the time (a text-based
graphics language and HP pen-plotters). Design files were then to be transmitted via Arpanet to
Xerox PARC, merged into a multi-project chip file, and implemented at Micromask and HP via
QTA mask and fab. The packaged, bonded chips were to be available about a month after the
conclusion of the course.
Professor Jonathan Allen of M.I.T.'s EECS Department and Research Laboratory of Electronics
served as host and faculty coordinator for this intensive laboratory based course. Jon played a key
role in helping establish the course environment and in helping Lynn negotiate the logistics of
running a new, experimental course at the Institute. Prof. Allen himself later went on to teach
VLSI design courses at M.I.T. One of Prof. Allen's Ph.D. students (Glen Miranker) served as
graduate teaching assistant for the course, and played an important role in getting the design lab
up and running so that students could layout and implement their projects.
When this experimental prototype course worked-out completely as planned, it was a
demonstration-proof of the validity and potential of the new Mead-Conway VLSI system design
methods . Prior to this time, complex digital chip designs required a team of "architects, logic
designers, circuit designers, circuit layout designers, and process experts", and took many months
to a year to complete. Some of the projects completed in this course set entirely new standards for
length of time from conceptualization to implementation, given their complexity, bringing wide
notice to the course as a result. Guy Steele's LISP microprocessor, in particular, greatly excited
and challenged other architects and designers who heard about it (see project 17, below); Guy's
project undoubtedly triggered the participation of a number of key system architects at Stanford
and Berkeley in the later MPC79 and MPC580 efforts in '79 and '80.
2. 2
This course also played a key role in the evolution, development and demonstration of new rapid-
turnaround chip prototyping methods - methods later documented in the "A Guidebook to LSI
Implementation" edited by Bob Hon and Carlo Sequin. The opportunistic use of the Arpanet for
interaction with the "foundry" at Xerox PARC and HP in Palo Alto, CA, provided key
experiences that led to innovation in 1979 of the network-server, multi-university chip
prototyping infrastructure deployed and demonstrated as part of "MPC79". The success of
MPC79 led to the transfer of that infrastructure to USC-ISI, where it became known as the
"MOSIS" service. MOSIS has been operated as a national infrastructure for rapid chip
prototyping for university researchers and students since 1981, with support from DARPA and
later from NSF.
This document includes a list of participants in the course, photos of various course activities, and
