Knowledge and skills acquired

In classes and by carrying out individual work, students acquire basic knowledge in the field of digital integrated circuits and systems area, reasons of appearance, historical development, technological characteristics and production specifications. Students will learn how to recognise specific digital electronic problems and solving methods by using requirements specification in digital circuits and systems design. They acquire skills to apply modern software tools for drawing logic diagrams, simulation and verification of logic circuits and systems. Students learn about design methods for logic circuits and structures by using integrated logic circuits, programmable logic circuits and microprocessor systems, tools and instruments for development and diagnostics as logic probes, digital oscilloscopes, PAL and GAL programming tools, logic analysers and software tools for digital design (cush as MicroSim, OrCAD, Cadence, etc.).

Teaching methods

Lectures using multimedia presentations, individual learning using CD ROM, e-learning using multimedia programmes like WebCT, reading papers, exercises with solved problems, individual problem solving and team work, laboratory practice on ready-made models and construction of students’ own simple circuits and devices.

Student requirements

Defined by the Student evaluation criteria of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology Osijek and paragraph 1.9

Monitoring of students

Defined by the Student evaluation criteria of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology Osijek and paragraph 1.9

Student assessment

Solving simple individual problems and encouraging team work on more complex problems. On-line testing using e-learning tools like WebCT with questions data base. Assessment of laboratory work as well as design, construction, testing and presentation of own simple circuits and devices. Oral exam with students for the purpose of awarding the final grade.

Knowledge assessment during the semester, grading laboratory work, individual problem solving and oral exam

Course assessment

Conducting university questionnaires on teachers (student-teacher relationship, transparency of assessment criteria, motivation for teaching, teaching clarity, etc.). Conducting Faculty surveys on courses (upon passing the exam, student self-assessment of the adopted learning outcomes and student workload in relation to the number of ECTS credits allocated to activities and courses as a whole).

Overview of course assesment

1. define and apply a basic facts and laws of Boolean algebra and binary arithmetics

2. distinguish and compare technical and technological features of digital circuit functionality

3. evaluate and explain the structural and functional architecture of basic digital logic circuits

4. understand the basics of information coding
