This fast-paced, college level course in applied logic gives students the opportunity to learn how computers/logic circuits think and control the world around us. Students will use applied math to understand the logic behind the circuits, as well as computer simulation software to design and test digital circuitry prior to the actual construction of the circuits. Students will have the opportunity to learn everything from basic electronic circuit design, logic circuit design, all the way up to and including programming and interfacing with microcontrollers. Students can expect to use the engineering design process to think critically and independently solve open-ended problems. Students need to choose 2 of the 3 courses (DE, RASE, AE) to make a full-year selection.
