This course teaches classical switching theory including Boolean algebra, logic minimization, algorithmic state machine abstractions, and synchronous system design. This theory is then applied to digital electronic design. Techniques of logic implementation, from Small Scale Integration (SSI) through Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), are encountered. There are weekly laboratory exercises for the first part of the course followed by a digital design project in which the student designs and builds a large system of his or her choice. In the process, Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and construction techniques for digital systems are learned.
