Courses You May Take

ELET1111: Digital Logic Laboratory

Credits: 1

This laboratory implements the theoretical principles of ELET 1133, Digital Logic. Students learn to build working circuits based upon design goals. Applications include examples of combinatorial and sequential logic such as adders, multiplexers, counters and 7-segment displays. Logic solutions utilize programmable logic devices and external interfaces as well as transistor-transistor logic integrated circuits, and simulation software. Written laboratory reports are required.

ELET1133: Digital Logic

Credits: 3

Digital Logic introduces a student to two-state logic. Logic analysis will use the binary number system and Boolean algebra. Both combinational (AND-OR) logic and sequential (flip-flop) logic are studied. Typical logic designs include 7-segment displays, adders, multiplexers, and counters. Logic designs are implemented using simulation, programmable logic devices and transistor-transistor logic.

MECH4003: Solid Modeling

Credits: 0-3

This course is an introduction to 3D solid modeling techniques utilizing feature-based, constraint-based parametric design. This course encourages the student to visualize parts in three dimensions and have a design intent plan for each part in which they will design. The use of design intent will help in the arrangement of assemblies, parts, features, and dimensions to meet design requirements.
