Systems design course for automating the testing of electronic circuits and systems in both the engineering and production environments; stresses both hardware design and system software development. Begins with simple PC-based systems assembly for circuit testing as part of the design process and progresses to the design and development of full-scale systems for testing of large production volumes. Detailed study of the operation of the IEEE STD-488 and its use in test systems assembly. Prerequisites: CS-130 or CS-150. Offered during spring semester only. (2-2-3)
