Learning Outcomes

After the course the student will be able to deal with the logic expression in a systematic way and is able to make logical reasoning, the student is able to design and analyze combinatorial and sequential logic, and is able to make conversions between different number systems. In addition, student is able to describe the implementation of digital circuits and is able to use component data sheets. Student will learn to design simple logic circuits. Student learns to know the key structures, features and functions of different types of computer systems. After completing the course the student will understand the number system and logical connections used in digital technology operations and knows how to deal with the component data sheet information about the activities of the components.

Student's Workload

135 h containing 70 h of scheduled contact studies at VAMK and 50 h at UVA.
