Digital Electronics (DE) is a course of study in applied digital logic that
encompasses the design and application of electronic circuits and devices found in video
games, watches, calculators, digital cameras, and thousands of other devices. Instruction
includes the application of engineering and scientific principles as well as the use of
Boolean algebra to solve design problems. Using computer software that reflects current
industry standards, activities should provide opportunities for students to design,
construct, test, and analyze simple and complex digital circuitry software will be used to
develop and evaluate the product design. This course engages students in critical thinking
and problem-solving skills, time management and teamwork skills.
