MATH 2003 or equivalent Digital Logic introduces students to logic circuits implemented with transistor-transistor logic and relay ladder logic. Logic analysis will use the binary number system and Boolean algebra. Programmable Logic Controller implementation of relay ladder logic design familiarizes students with industrial control inputs, outputs, branching and timing. The study and application of the basic skills required for electronic fabrication. A digital prototyping circuit board kit will be built and will be used in laboratories throughout the program.
Some outside preparation is required.
Applications and verifications of the theories and laws governing ac and dc circuits with in-depth study of the circuits constructed in the laboratory. Safety and correct laboratory test procedures and measurements are stressed. Outside preparation and laboratory report writing are required. A comprehensive course in the fundamentals of electrical circuits and electronics for non-electrical majors. Dc and ac circuits and applications.
