Digital Electronics

In Digital Electronics you will gain skills in basic electronics, logical thinking, problem solving, and trouble shooting. From smart phones to appliances, digital circuits are all around us. This course provides a foundation for students who are interested in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronics, or circuit design. Students study topics such as combinational and sequential logic and are exposed to circuit design tools used in industry, including logic gates, integrated circuits, and programmable logic devices The course is designed to expose students to engineering design and troubleshooting techniques that are used in the electronics field. Computer simulation software is used to design and test digital circuitry prior to actually constructing them in order to see if the circuits work. The projects are traditional, such as those found in watches, digital cameras, and calculators to combinational logic using SSI chips to small subsystem implementation in programmable devices, in which you will learn how machines “think.” You will also learn a systematic approach that engineers use to design the electronics that is used every day.
