Electronics II: Digital

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. discuss the introductory digital concepts; 2. differentiate number systems, operations and codes; 3. classify logic gates and compute logic operations with them; 4. execute logic simplification; and 5. identify and utilise logic elements of varying complexity in realisation of digital circuits.

Number Systems and Code. Analysis and design of logic gates of various families: Diodes logic, RTL, TTL, ECL, MOS and MOS of digital integrated circuits. Concepts of small, medium, large, and very large-scale integration and their consequences. Introduction to analysis and design of digital systems. Boolean algebra and mapping methods: Karnaugh and variable entered Maps, combinational logic realization with gates, multiplexers, read only memories (ROMs) and programmable logic arrays (PLAs). State machine analysis and design: state diagram, state flip-flops, input and output forming Logic, State assignments, redundant states, sequential counters, and mainly synchronous systems. State machine realisation with multiplexers, ROMs and PLAs. Asynchronous systems approach to digital systems design, top- down design, trial-and-error methods. Introduction to computer structures: register, transfers, hardware programming methods, Von Neumann machines, and memory systems standard logic functions with MSI circuits: seven segment display drivers, parity generator/checker, encoders, comparators, adders. 400 Level GET 402 Engineering Project I (2 Units: C; PH 90) Learning Outcomes At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. Complete the design phase of a complex engineering problem sourced from industry or community during the SIWES III programme. 2. Demonstrate the connection between engineering product-making and the theoretical courses they have learned following the applicable industry best practices. Course Contents In the second semester of the 400-level students, preferably in groups, work from the university on the identified industry or organization to tackle industry complex engineering problems. Theoretical issues may be provided by the department faculty or industry experts. During the vacation, students will now work full time with the organisation/industry on the project as part of the SIWES III. The students can also go beyond the department and engage in multidisciplinary undertakings. Literature survey, review of existing systems etc. must be achieved to a satisfactory extent. GET 404 Engineering Valuation and Appraisal (2 Units: C; LH 30) Learning Outcomes At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. Identify at least three (3) objectives of engineering valuation work, valuer's primary duty and responsibility and valuation terminologies. 2. Describe at least four (4) Valuer's obligation to his or her client, to other valuers, and to the society. 3. Demonstrate with example the engineering valuation methods, valuation standards, and practices. 4. Prepare engineering valuation and appraisal reports and review 5. Discuss expert witnessing and ethics in valuation. 6. Determine price, cost, value, depreciation and obsolescence in real property, personal property, personal property, machinery and equipment, oil, gas, mines, and quarries valuation.
