Aims and Fit of Module

This module aims to provide students with knowledge of:
A knowledge of basic design methods for combinational and sequential logic circuits.
An understanding of number systems such as binary, hexadecimal, BCD
A knowledge of the laws of Boolean algebra.

Learning outcomes

A. Understand binary numbers, Boolean algebra and the principles of combinational and sequential logic circuits. B. Apply the theoretical knowledge to the design of a stable and robust digital system. C. Build and debug digital systems. D. Use a risk management process to identify, evaluate and mitigate the risks associated with digital electronics.

Method of teaching and learning

This module is delivered through lectures and tutorials.
Problems are embedded within lectures and knowledge of the lecture material is tested by weekly home works delivered on the web based system.
Students will use the knowledge developed in the Laboratories included in the Experimental Skills module.
