Course Description:

Course aims to introduce electronic components with their applications in logic gate design. A passing grade from introductory circuit theory course (EE-281) is required. The topics discussed are analysis of non-linear circuit components such as diodes and transistor, logic gates, different logic families.

This course is *only* offered to non-EE students.
