EGR 328-01, CSC 328-01
Offered as CSC 328 and EGR 328. Previously EGR 390dc. Digital circuits are everywhere, from basic thermostat controls and stop light sequencers to smart phones, computers and even Mars Rovers! This course covers the basic building blocks for all electronics. Students investigate basic logic circuits, combinatorial logic and sequential logic with an introduction to the basic digital circuits such as encoders and multiplexers. The second part of the semester focuses on microprocessors, using the Arduino. Students build a variety of circuits with input (from a computer, or from the environment via sensors) and programmed output (LEDs, sound, data sent to a computer), in order to learn how information from our analog world can be converted into digital data. Prerequisites: one of CSC 110, CSC 120, CSC 205/MTH 205, CSC 210 or CSC 220; and either EGR 220 or CSC 231. Restrictions: Junior and seniors only; Engineering and computer science majors only. Enrollment limited to 12.

[CE] JR/SR only, EGR & CSC majors only; Prereqs: (CSC 110, 120, 210, 220 or CSC 205/ MTH 205) & (EGR 220 or CSC 231)

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
