- Units:4
- Hours:54 hours LEC; 54 hours LAB
- Prerequisite:None.
- Advisory:Some previous exposure to programming at the high school level or above.
- Transferable:CSU; UC
- Catalog Date:August 1, 2024
This is an introductory course in the fundamentals of designing digital computer hardware. This course covers: logic gates, binary number system, conversion between number systems, Boolean algebra, Karnaugh maps, combinational logic, digital logic design, flip-flops, programmable logic devices (PLDs), counters, registers, memories, state machines, designing combinational logic and state machines into PLDs, and basic computer architecture. The lab is design oriented and emphasizes the use of software equation entry tools, schematic entry, and logic simulation tools. Lab assignments are design oriented. This course is required for Electrical/Electronics Engineering and Computer Engineering majors at some universities. This course is also helpful for Computer Science majors, electronics technicians, and for students wishing to sample computer engineering.
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- identify common elementary digital components such as logic gates, flip-flops, programmable logic devices (PLDs), counters, registers, memories, and state machines.
- analyze a digital design problem using combinational logic, binary and other number systems, Boolean algebra, and Karnaugh maps.
- design a solution to a complex digital logic design problem and implement this solution using one or more simulation tools.
- utilize hierarchical design methodology to combine smaller components into a larger design.

This course applies the graphical tools needed to analyze, interpret, and solve engineering problems. The engineering design process is taught using manual tools and computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) tools to solve typical engineering problems. Topics include descriptive geometry, vector graphics, orthogonal projection, primary and secondary auxiliary views, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), 3D solid modeling, and an introduction to finite element analysis (FEA) tools. This course is intended for mechanical and civil engineering majors, but may also be required for other programs.
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- create fully dimensioned orthographic projection drawings of objects by hand and by using CADD software.
- construct sectional and auxiliary views of objects.
- determine appropriate tolerances on components.
- create a solution to a simple design problem, culminating in working drawings.
- utilize 2D and 3D software tools to create layouts and models.
