The general objective of this course is to understand the basic building blocks of digital electronics and the operation of combinational and sequential circuits that are used inside a computer.
To achieve this goal, the following competences will be acquired:
1. BASIC COMPETENCES
CB1
----------------------
Students have demonstrated knowledge and understanding in an area of studies that is the part of the base of general secondary education, and is typically at a level, that, whilst supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that will imply the knowledge of the forefront of their field of study.
----------------------
In secondary school Industrial Technologies II is studied. They studied
- Numbering systems
- Boolean Algebra
- Combinational circuits
- Sequential circuits (flip-flops)
Much of the course is devoted to this: 60%.
Topics 1-6.
It is evaluated in all the tests
