This is a course for non-electrical engineering majors that covers the analysis, design, simulation, and construction of digital logic circuits and systems. The course provides the necessary tools to design digital hardware circuits such as clocks, security devices, and computer hardware. The course begins with the study of number systems and digitization, Boolean algebra, and the design of combinational logic circuits. The first half of the course focuses on combinational logic designs. The second half of the course introduces sequential logic circuits like memory systems, counters, and shift registers. Laboratory work reinforces the course material by requiring cadets to design and implement basic digital circuits. Throughout the course, cadets are challenged to understand and leverage increasing levels of abstraction when designing complex digital systems.
