Fundamentals of Analog & Digital Electronics

Content: combination logic, sequential logic, process and control experiments, and microcontrollers. You will design and build a variety of projects: a random number generator (think “random quote of the day”), a tollbooth gate, a garage door opener’s circuit, and a 60-second timer circuit.l Before you know it, you will be diving into robotics: programming microchips and an Arduino microcontroller using VEX systems
Digital Electronics (DE), one of the specialized courses in TCD's PLTW Pathway to Engineering course sequence. This is a high school level course for students interested in electronics. This course assumes no previous knowledge, but students are expected to be concurrently enrolled in college preparatory mathematics and science courses at their high school. If you are not familiar with the list of topics below, don't worry -- that's the language of electronics and you will learn it one step at a time! Students who have completed the foundation courses Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) and Principles of Engineering (POE) at TCD or their high school can easily transition into this course. This is not a comprehensive list of all available skills and goals, but given to show the scope of the curriculum. Changes may occur year to year based on industry input, change in focus, or other factors.
