General Information

Overview

Digital Electronics will provide you with the theoretical and the practical knowledge of digital electronics devices in information processing applications. You will work in teams and individually to model, analyse, design and verify digital electronic design projects. Using software simulations and practical constructions of digital circuits you will verify operation of digital systems. You will develop the knowledge to analyse the operation of combinational and sequential logic circuits within the discrete and Integrated Circuit (IC) digital electronic devices. You will learn to interpret functional requirements, research implementation options, construct models for testing and verify system performance. You will prepare project documents using symbols and terminologies that comply with Australian standards and to pass this unit students must achieve at least 50% mark in the project assessment. In this unit, you must complete compulsory practical activities. Refer to the Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle site for proposed dates.

Attendance Requirements

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Residential Schools

Assessment Grading

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Previous Student Feedback

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Unit's survey

Feedback

The design project, while initially seeming difficult, really helped with understanding many of the concepts in the course.

Recommendation

The project provides an authentic assessment of the materials learned in this unit. It is also an opportunity for students to learn and to exercise problem solving and creativity. The project will remain a key assessment task in this unit.

Feedback from Unit's survey

Feedback

The laboratory really helps to link the theory with real-world practices and I really enjoyed lab work on campus.

Recommendation

The lab is an essential learning activity for this unit and it will be retained and improved.

Feedback from Unit's survey

Feedback

Laboratory requires better supervision.

Recommendation

Improve laboratory working procedures and better briefing for lab instructors across all campuses.

Unit Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
  1. Discuss digital number systems, their operations and explain how these systems are used in the processing of digital information
  2. Analyse the operation of combinational and sequential logic circuits within the discrete and Integrated Circuit (IC) digital electronic devices
  3. Interpret functional requirements, evaluate circuit options and conceive suitable system designs
  4. Verify operation of digital systems though software simulations and practical constructions of digital circuits
  5. Explain the various integrated circuit technologies and their future development trends
  6. Use appropriate electronic engineering terminologies and symbols that conform to Australian Standards to prepare technical documentations for basic digital system designs and applications
  7. Work collaboratively and autonomously to solve problems, document and communicate clearly and professionally the approaches used to solve problems.

The Learning Outcomes for this unit are linked with Engineers Australia's Stage 1 Competency Standard for Professional Engineers, Stage 1 Competency Standard for Engineering Technologists, and Stage 1 Competency Standard for Engineering Associates.

=============================

Additional information for the lab-kit:

Distance students have the following options for completing the lab component of this unit:

1. Physically attend any of the lab (these are scheduled in blocks) scheduled in any of the campuses (please refer to time table for the dates and campuses)

2. If you can self-supply the equipment required for conducting the labs as listed below, you do not need to purchase TMKIT. You can complete the labs at home without attending the scheduled labs.

You need to purchase TMKIT which has the following items in case you are unable to do 1 or 2 above, please purchase TMKIT(this kit has brand new equipment) or TMKITU (a limited number of TMKITU are available which comprise used equipment on campus before. TMKITU comes with a replacement warranty from school of engineering and technology).

COMPKIT_ENEE13020

Please see additional information on TMKIT or TMKITU (above).

Those who decide to order TMKIT or TMKITU should also order one COMPKIT_ENEE13020, which has all the components required to complete the labs of this unit from home.
