ENGR 10042, Sec (065) Principles of Digital Logic (Spring 2013) Course Syllabus TEXAS CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY

DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING FORT WORTH, TEXAS 76129 MEMORANDUM FOR FROM:

1. Students enrolled in ENGR 10042 Dr. Cuiling (Sue) Gong

Brief Course Description. The objective of the course is to introduce a broad range of digital logic topics that serve as the basic building blocks for the digital electronics. These include error detection and correction, combinational circuit design, latches and flip-flops, shift registers, semiconductor memory, magnetic and optical storage media, signal interfacing and processing. Through the course we will discuss basic principles of digital operation of the DLP digital display technology and several electronic devices such as DVDs, iPods and computers to enhance fundamental understanding of the digital technology. A hands-on experiment will be conducted to reinforce the digital operation concepts.

You are expected to complete the reading assignment before coming to class. This preparation is necessary to enable you to fully understand and participate in the class discussion of the material. 1

b. End of Chapter Problems. End of chapter problems from your textbook will be assigned in class. At a minimum, you are to work these problems in preparation for the quizzes and exams. You are strongly encouraged to work as many problems in the textbook as possible. The assigned problems will not be collected or graded. c. Homework sets and projects. 10 homework sets and two projects will be graded. Engineers often work in teams and learn from each other. Therefore, collaboration on homework assignments is encouraged. However, copying others work is not allowed. The homework and project reports should be well organized and easy to read. Late homework or project will not be accepted unless prior arrangements are made. Details about the group projects will be provided on eCollege. d. Quizzes. 5 Quizzes will be given. These quizzes will be given during the first 10 minutes of the scheduled class. The purpose of these short quizzes is to encourage you to stay current with the material. Please remember that there are no makeups for missed quizzes due to unofficial University Absences unless prior arrangements are made with me. e. Examinations. Two exams and one final exam are scheduled and will constitute 70% of your course grade. All the exams and final will be closed book and closed notes. Please remember that there are no makeups for missed exams unless prior arrangements are made with me. f. Class website and email notification. Check the course website in eCollege for all the class updates. Only the official TCU students email address will be used for all course notification. It is your responsibility to check your TCU email on a regular basis. 5. Grading. The following are the point values given to each of the course requirements. 10 Homework sets 10% Projects 10% 5 Quizzes 10% Exam 1 20% Exam 2 20% Final Exam 30% -----------------------------------------------------------------Course Total 100% Final course grades are based on the following course percentages.
