CEN 211 Logic Design

Topics covered in this course include: Digital computer and information

(numbering systems, arithmetic operations, decimal codes, etc), Combinational
logic circuits (binary logic and gates, Boolean algebra, simplification, CMOS
circuits), combinational logic design (design procedure, Decoders,
multiplexers, binary adders and subtracters), Sequential circuits (Latches, Flip
flops, Synchronous Sequential circuits analysis and design), analysis and design
of synchronous sequential machines: Representation, state reduction and

The purpose of the lab is to complement the course. The student is supposed to
have hands-on experience with the different logic devices that he studies.
Furthermore, this hands-on experience should enable the student to
understand better the material taught in CEN 211.

In this semester the student continues his work in the project. This may
require the student to present his progress monthly. At the end of the semester
the student presents a detailed report of developed project and oral
presentation. The report should indicate that the student understands the topic
and his specific implementation. Any hardware or software should be
documented in detail. The students grade is based on his work during the
project and commitment to fullfil objectives, on the report, and on his oral
presentation.

with technical merit. This project is for two semesters, it is counted as one
hour in the first semester. At the end of the semester the student submits a
report describing his projects and the parts he completed in the first semester
and proposed parts in the 2nd semester.
