Course Description:
This module introduces the concepts of the design and implementation of digital circuits. Laboratory experiments will be used to reinforce the theoretical concepts discussed in lectures. The lab experiments will involve the design and implementation of digital circuits. Emphasis is on the use computer aided tools in the design, simulation, and testing of digital circuits.
Course Objective:
Digital electronic circuits can be found inside many electronic devices such as cell phones, digital cameras, computers, and many other consumer products that process and use information in a digital format. This course teaches students a basic treatment of digital circuits and the fundamental concepts used their design. It provides coverage of classical hardware design for both combinational and sequential logic circuits.
Learning Outcomes:
• Knowledge and understanding:
- Minimize functions using any type of minimizing algorithms (Boolean algebra, Karnaugh map).
• Cognitive skills (thinking and analysis).
- Define the problem (Inputs and Outputs), write its functions.
- Implement functions using digital circuit (Combinational or Sequential).
• Communication skills (personal and academic).
- Have knowledge in analyzing and designing procedures of Combinational and Sequential Circuits

Important Notice:
Sometimes (& suddenly) I will test you by giving Quizzes at the beginning of the lecture! - To solve it easily and to get the highest marks, you should always read the last two lectures before attending the class – Good Luck.
Important Advice:
From first day in the semester you should work very hard and you must activate your mind to think as much as you can!
