Objectives
    1st Objective:
    Map the high-level description of a digital system into a binary description of it.

    2nd Objective:
    Analyze and design combinational systems using standard gates and minimization methods (such as Karnaugh Maps).

    3rd Objective:
    Analyze and design simple synchronous sequential systems.

    4th Objective:
    Analyze and design sequential systems composed of standard sequential modules, such as counters and registers).

    5th Objective:
    Perform basic arithmetic operations with signed integers represented in binary.


    Updated Objectives:
    1. Map the high-level description of a digital system into a binary description. (ABET Outcomes: a, m)

    2. Analyze and design combinational systems using standard gates and minimization methods (such as Karnaugh maps). (ABET Outcomes: a, c, n)

    3. Analyze and design combinational systems composed of standard combinational modules, such as multiplexers and decoders. (ABET Outcomes: a, c, n)

    4. Analyze and design simple synchronous sequential systems. (ABET Outcomes: a, c, n)

    5. Analyze and design sequential systems composed of standard sequential modules, such as counters and registers. (ABET Outcomes: a, c, n)

    6. Analyze and design simple systems composed of programmable logic, such as ROMs and PLAs. (ABET Outcomes: a, c, n)

    7. Perform basic arithmetic operations with signed integers represented in binary. (ABET Outcomes: a, m, n)
