Course Description
 This
course is an introduction to digital electronics for the student with no
previous knowledge or experience in digital fundamentals. This course is
essential for the student who interested in learning digital electronics
as it applies to digital logic and computer electronics. This course prepares
the student with an understanding of combinational and sequential logic
circuits. It covers number systems, logic gates, waveforms and Boolean
algebra and continues through exclusive-or gates, adders and open-collector
gates. An integral part of the course are the lab projects utilizing computer
simulation and hands-on construction.
