1. Course Objectives
This course provides a modern introduction to logic design and the basic building blocks used in
digital systems, in particular digital computers. It starts with a discussion of combinational logic:
logic gates, minimization techniques, arithmetic circuits, and modern logic devices such as field
programmable logic gates. The second part of the course deals with sequential circuits: flip-flops,
synthesis of sequential circuits, and case studies, including counters, registers. State machines
will then be discussed and illustrated through case studies of more complex systems using
programmable logic devices. Different representations including truth table, logic gate, timing
diagram, switch representation, and state diagram will be discussed.
At the end of this course, students are expected to be able to:

 Be able to design and analyze combinational logic circuits.

 Be able to design and analyze sequential logic circuits.
 Understand the basic software tools for the design and implementation of digital circuits
and systems.
 Understand how logic circuits and analyzed , designed, verified, and tested.
 Reinforce theory and techniques taught in the classroom through experiments and
projects in the laboratory

2 Course Structure

1. Presentation by lecturer
2. Group discussion
3. Problem questions
4. Projects / Case studies etc.

3. Course Duration

This course will be held twice a week of 3 hours (90 min session each) class + lab 3
hours lab duration.

4. Course Style

The course will be delivered in a classroom environment.

5. Additional Course Requirement

In addition to the objectives of this course, students are expected to gain skills which
would be needed in the professional work environment. These skills include but not
limited to: Writing, Presentation, Decision Making and Teamwork.

All students are expected to fulfill the student responsibilities identified in the University
Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct includes detailed information about plagiarism,
collusion, and other forms of misconduct, along with the penalties that may be assessed.
 Students are expected to work diligently for sufficient hours to learn the material fully.
On average, expect to work approximately ten hours per week on each unit, or 40 hours
per week for a full load of 3 units. You are expected to put in those hours over the entire
course of the semester/term, not just when assignments are due or for exams. You are
expected to do preparation work prior to coming to class.

Students may also expect to be able to contact their instructors. You have been provided
with contact numbers and email for your lecturer. Contact the lecturer to make
appointments for personal meetings.

10. Attendance Requirements

You are expected to attend all lectures, seminars, tutorials, and lab sessions or any other
classroom activity. Where you fail to attend classes, you cannot expect the lecturer to brief you on
what you have missed. You are responsible for your attendance, not the academic staff.
 Attendance at tutorials and lab sessions will be strictly monitored, and failure to attend will be
taken into account.

11. Submission and Collection of Assignment

All assignments should be handed in at the beginning of the class sessions when they are due. All
assignments may be handed back during scheduled classes.

12. General Information

Students are required to be familiar with the university code Conduct, and to abide by its terms
and conditions.

12.1 Copying of Copyright Material By Student

A condition of acceptance as a student is the obligation to abide by the University’s policy on the
copying of copyright material. This obligation covers photocopying of any material using the
University’s photocopying machines, and the recording off air, and making subsequent copies, of
radio or television broadcasts, and photocopying textbooks. Students who flagrantly disregard
University policy and copyright requirements will be liable to disciplinary action under the Code
of Conduct.

12.2 Academic Misconduct

Please refer to the Code of Conduct for definitions and penalties for Academic Misconduct,
plagiarism, collusion, and other specific acts of academic dishonesty. Academic honesty is crucial
to a student's credibility and self-esteem, and ultimately reflects the values and morals of the
University as a whole. A student may work together with one or a group of students discussing
assignment content, identifying relevant references, and debating issues relevant to the subject.
Academic investigation is not limited to the views and opinions of one individual, but is built by
forming an opinion based on past and present work in the field. It is legitimate and appropriate to
synthesize the work of others, provided that such work is clearly and accurately referenced.
Plagiarism occurs when the work (including such things as text, figures, ideas, or conceptual
structure, whether verbatim or not) created by another person or persons is used and presented as
one’s own creation, unless the source of each quotation or piece of borrowed material is
acknowledged with an appropriate citation. Encouraging or assisting another person to commit
plagiarism is a form of improper collusion and may attract the same penalties. To prevent
Academic Misconduct occurring, students are expected to familiarize themselves with the
University policy, the Subject Outline statements, and specific assignment guidelines.

12.3 Guidelines to Avoid Plagiarism

Whenever you copy more than a few words from any source, you must acknowledge that source
by putting the quote in quotation marks and providing the name of the author. Full details must be
provided in your bibliography. If you copy a diagram, statistical table, map, etc., you must
acknowledge the source. The recommended way is to show this under the diagram. If you quote
any statistics in your text, the source should be acknowledged. Again full details must be
provided in your bibliography. Whenever you use the ideas of any other author you should
acknowledge those, using the APA (American Psychological Association) style of referencing.

Students are encouraged to cooperate, but collusion is a form of cheating. Students may use any
sources (acknowledged of course) other than the assignments of fellow students. Unless your
Subject Leader informs you otherwise, the following guideline should be used: Students may
work together in obtaining references, discussing the content of the references and discussing the
assignment, but when they write, they must write alone.

12.4 Referencing For Written Work

Referencing is necessary to acknowledge others' ideas, avoid plagiarism, and allow readers to
access those others’ ideas. Referencing should:
1. Acknowledge others' ideas
2. Allow readers to find the source
3. Be consistent in format and
4. Acknowledge the source of the referencing format

To attain these qualities, the department recommends use of either the Harvard or American
Psychological Association style of referencing, both of which use the author/date.
