Aims

The goal is to obtain fundamental knowledge of methods for description, analysis, and design of combinatorial and sequential logic networks in digital systems.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The knowledge of students is examined by the mid-exam (25 points), the project (20 points), and by the final exam.

The minimal number of points, which can be obtained from the final exam, is 25 (of 55 points). Otherwise, no points will be assigned to a student.

Plagiarism and not allowed cooperation will cause that involved students are not classified and disciplinary action can be initiated.

Recommended optional programme components

Not applicable.
