Combinational & Sequential Logic (bite-sized HE course)

Studying this module will enable you to: Design and build or modify circuits using combinational logic Design and build or modify circuits using sequential logic Design and evaluate a digital system What skills will I gain? Throughout the course you will: Gain an understanding of digital techniques and the practical applications of both combinational and sequential logic Investigate the characteristics and applications of combinational and sequential logic devices Learn how to recognise the components, and find appropriate information to utilise them Design, construct and test combinational and sequential circuits using a variety of construction materials, and test equipment Use relevant computer software to simulate and verify circuits Design a digital system and evaluate it against given criteria Investigate the minimisation of digital circuits to improve efficiency Improve the digital system design through the use of programmable logic devices (PLDs) How will I be assessed? This is an assignment-based course and there are no exams. You will be continually assessed throughout the course via assignments and the production of a detailed portfolio What can I do next? Completion of the module will enable you to: Use the skills you have gained in the workplace Continue with further study and progress to the HNC/D in engineering
