This second course in computer engineering further develops the techniques used in random logic system design. It takes into consideration the non-ideal nature of logic devices with a view to the development of engineered systems. The course also introduces the student to microprocessor technology and the hardware and software design techniques used in real time systems using a programmed logic approach. No specialist staffing requirements. Depending on the enrolments in these degrees, approximately 120 students per year could be expected.
New material is delivered in a lecture format.
The lectures are supported with tutorial sessions and laboratory work. Student and lecturer feedback suggests that ELEC270 has filled a useful gap between ELEC170 and the ELEC37x subjects.
