Labs
The four labs will provide hands-on experience with the VLSI tools. See the handouts page for more info.
Late Labs Policy
Each student gets a total of four late days they can spend to extend
the lab deadlines for any reason. No other extensions will be given,
unless for serious documented emergencies.
Collaboration Policy
Students are encouraged to discuss the lab assignments
with other students, but complete their own labs, write their own code, and turn in their
own lab report.
