Course Description
Digital Electronics is the third foundation course in the Project Lead the Way high school pre-engineering program. Digital Electronics is the study of electronic circuits that are used to process and control digital signals. Digital electronics is the foundation of all modern electronic devices such as cellular phones, MP3 players, laptop computers, digital cameras, high definition televisions, etc. The major focus of the course is to expose students to the design process of combinational and sequential logic design, teamwork, communication methods, engineering standands, and technical documentation. Utilizing engineering activities, projects, and problems, students will analyze, design and build digital electronic circuits. While implementing these designs, students will continually hone their interpersonal skills, creative abilities and understanding of the design process. The course topics include the foundations of digitial electronics, combinational logic analysis and design, sequential logic analysis and design, and an introduction to microcontrollers. At the honors level, a higher level of success in circuit building will be required for electronic problems. Students will be introduced to additional topics including multicore processing, point-to-multipoint or peer-to-peer networking via X-Bee transceivers, infrared signals, and various input and output devices. |
