TL;DR: The associate of arts and associate of science degree programs are intended to help individuals understand effective social behavior and appreciate scientific fact and human values as discussed by the authors, and they are designed to impart specific skills essential to effective adult functioning such as the abilities to write and speak effectively, to calculate, and to think constructively and critically.
Abstract: The Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degree programs are intended to help individuals understand effective social behavior and appreciate scientific fact and human values. The programs are designed to impart specific skills essential to effective adult functioning. These include the abilities to write and speak effectively, to calculate, and to think constructively and critically. The programs also provide a broad foundation of general knowledge about the physical and social universe as preparation for advanced baccalaureate study. Most recipients of the Associate of Arts and the Associate of Science degrees transfer to bachelor’s degree-granting institutions to complete their intellectual, professional, and cultural goals. The Associate of Arts and the Associate of Science degrees meet the general education requirements for most baccalaureate degree programs at The University of Akron and other colleges and universities throughout the country. Completing the Associate of Arts or the Associate of Science degree also fulfills the Transfer Module as outlined by the Ohio Board of Regents.

TL;DR: The analysis of the software results revealed that MTNCL circuits are more energy efficient for any size provided the number of pipeline stages does not become too great and NCL would consume less energy.
Abstract: Power and energy consumption are the primary concern of the digital integrated circuit (IC) industry. Asynchronous logic, in the past several years, has increased in popularity due to its low power nature. This thesis analyzes a collection of array multipliers with different parameters to compare two asynchronous design paradigms, NULL Convention Logic (NCL) and MultiThreshold NULL Convention Logic (MTNCL). Several commercially available pieces of software and custom scripts are used to analyze the asynchronous circuits and their components to provide the energy consumption estimation on various parts of each circuit. The analysis of the software results revealed that MTNCL circuits are more energy efficient for any size provided the number of pipeline stages does not become too great. Otherwise NCL would consume less energy. A combinational logic gate count to register gate count ratio of 3 was given to help determine when an MTNCL circuit would have too many pipeline stages for circuits designed with IBM’s 130nm 8RF-DM design kit. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I thank my advisor, Dr. Di, and my committee for their support on my thesis. I also thank my family without whose support this would not have been possible and my friends for their tireless encouragement. TABLE OF CONTENTS
