Design of Logic Systems (ENG105)

The central theme of this course is the analysis, specification and design of a wide variety of digital circuits. Students will learn the theory and application of logic design methods, and use computer-based design packages widely employed in industry. They will undertake design exercises, translating system specifications into circuits that could then be simulated on the computer.
