ENGS 31 Digital Electronics

This course teaches classical switching theory including Boolean algebra, logic minimization, algorithmic state machine abstractions, and synchronous system design. This theory is then applied to digital electronic design. Techniques of logic implementation, from Small Scale Integration (SSI) through Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), are encountered. There are weekly laboratory exercises for the first part of the course followed by a digital design project in which the student designs and builds a large system of his or her choice. In the process, Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and construction techniques for digital systems are learned. Enrollment is limited to 60 students.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
