EET 111 - Digital Computer Fundamentals

This course is a study of the fundamentals of digital computers including number systems, Boolean algebra, Karnaugh maps, logic functions, logic gates, and the implementation of logic functions using discrete and integrated circuit components. Combinations of fundamental circuits are developed to form counters, registers, encoders, decoders, multiplexers, demultiplexers, arithmetic, and memory units. This course includes a laboratory section that has experiments and activities specifically designed to facilitate knowledge acquisition of course subject matter. In the laboratory, the student is introduced to breadboarding, analysis, synthesis, testing and troubleshooting of digital circuits through the use of digital test instruments such as pulse generators, oscilloscopes, and logic probes. Students must register for a lab component of this course.
