In this course, the Electrical, Computer and Telecommunications Engineering Technology freshmen will construct a TekBot, an autonomous robot platform. Through engaging hands-on activities, the TekBot will be used to excite and inform students about their chosen program of study and expose them to the basic concepts utilized within. These topics include: systems of units and notation, voltage, current, resistance, component identification, circuit construction and schematic entry. Credit 4

0618-231 Tech Prog I

The first course, of a three-course sequence, in developing software for the solution of technical applications. Specifically, procedure- oriented programming of the C++ language will be employed to develop software solutions for engineering and scientific applications. Object-oriented programming will be introduced by the use of predefined objects. Class 3, Lab 2, Credit 4

0618-232 Tech Prog II

The second course, of a three-course sequence, in developing software for the solution of technical applications. Specifically, object- oriented programming of the C++ language will be employed to develop software solutions for engineering and scientific applications. Fundamental data structures (arrays, pointers, records) will be introduced. (0618-231) Class 3, Lab 2, Credit 4

0618-233 Tech Prog III

The final course of a three-course sequence, in developing software for the solution of technical applications. Specifically, classical data structures and advanced data types (lists, strings, stacks, queues, trees and graphs) will be studied and employed to develop software solutions for engineering and scientific applications. These applications will include an introduction to numerical methods (i.e. root finding, bisection method, secant method, numerical integration, trapezoidal rule and Simpson's rule) (0618-232) class 3, Lab 2, Credit 4

0618-301 Digital Fundamentals

A first course in digital fundamentals. Topics include binary arithmetic, Boolean algebra, logic gates, Karnaugh mapping, sequential and combinational logic circuits, and an introduction to state machines. (0618-213 or equivalent) Class 3, Lab 2, Credit 4

0618-303 Microcomputers

An introductory course involving the hardware and structure of a basic microprocessor based microcomputer. Emphasis will center on the hardware characteristics, design considerations, trouble shooting skills and interfacing principles. (0618-301 and a formal, structured programming course) Class 3, Lab 2, Credit 4

0618-438 Digital Systems Design

An advanced course in the design techniques of complex combinatorial and sequential logic circuits. CMOS static and dynamic electrical properties and input/output structures will be analyzed. The internal structure of FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Array) and CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Device) will be discussed. Emphasis is on the use of systematic design procedures for implementing combinatorial and sequential designs using VHDL. Co-Requisite 0609-360)(Pre Requisite 0618-303) Class 3, Lab 2, Credit 4
