5 Credits Introduces switching theory and logic design. Number systems, logic families, Boolean algebra, minimization, flip-flops, registers and counters, are covered. Analysis and design of finite state machines with discrete and programmable devices. Force systems, centroids, and moments of inertia are covered. Scientific, programmable, graphing calculator required.
Analysis is applied to axially-loaded members, circular shafts, beams and columns.
Combined stresses, statically indeterminate systems and properties of structural materials are included. Ohm's and Kirchhoff's Laws, network theorems, node voltage and mesh current methods. Includes computer circuit simulation, math analysis using Maple, and laboratory experiments. Fourier series, convolution integral, transfer functions, and frequency response. Includes computer analysis using Maple, lab experiments using LabView, GPIB and DAQ, and computer circuit simulation.
