ENEE 245 - Digital Circuits/Systems Laboratory

Number of Credits: 2
Digital Circuits and Systems Laboratory introduces the modern electrical and computer engineering hardware and software for the digital circuits laboratory. The course begins with a review of basic electrical lab techniques and equipment (power supplies, oscilloscopes, voltmeters, etc.), followed by the design, characterization, simulation, and construction of digital circuits containing logic gates, sequential elements, oscillators, and digital integrated circuits. All digital design and simulation is done using Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL). Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ENEE-206 or ENEE-245. (Fall Term Only) One hour lecture each week. Three hours laboratory each week. Two Credits. Two billable hours.

Pre-requisite(s): completion of CIS 132 with a minimum grade of C or better.
Co-requisite(s): ENEE 244.
Course Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

Use simulation, test, and measurement equipment to evaluate the functionality and performance of simple digital circuits and systems. (PG-1,2,3) (GE-3)
Understand basic limitations, inaccuracies, and tolerances of the test equipment components, and procedures. (PG-1,2) (GE-2,3)
Design digital circuits and systems to efficiently, reliably, and economically achieve desired results (PG-1,2) (GE-3)
Master techniques for modeling and troubleshooting circuits and systems through structural and gate-level networks and breadboard designs. (PG-1,2)(GE-2,3)
Use the Verilog hardware description language and simulation tools to design circuits and systems and analyze their performance. (PG-1,2,3) (GE-2,3)
Work cooperatively with others in the lab to maximize results. (PG-3,4,5) (GE-1,2,3,4)
