Study Guide

Objective

Knowledge and understanding
After completing the course, the student should be able to:
- describe how Boolean gates are applied in digital circuit contexts
- analyze and simplify Boolean logic circuits
- explain the function of Flip-Flops

Skills and Abilities
After completing the course, the student should be able to:
- plan and realize a digital circuit with Boolean design
- re-design and simplify combinatorial circuits
- develop a stand-alone solution in a PLC environment

Evaluation ability and Approach
After completing the course, the student should be able to:
- perform relevant selections of Boolean components, logical building blocks and PLC program structures
- justify the choice of logical functions of a digital solution (circuit or PLC program)

Content

Boolean design with logical circuits
Boolean design with PLC

Location and time

According to the schedule.

Materials

Made available on the Moodle course page.

Teaching methods

Introductory theory followed by laboratory exercises.

Exam schedules

Student groups present their lab work regularly, and is directly assessed by the teacher. A portfolio with all completed labs is submitted at the end of the course, followed by a final exam

Evaluation scale

H-5

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Possesses the ability to create a relevant structural solution to the problem.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Possesses the ability to realize a solution model that is mostly functional.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Possesses the ability to create a fully functioning solution model that, to some extent, has its own innovative elements.

Assessment methods and criteria

The assessment is based on final exam together with the lab work and the documentation in the portfolio.

Assessment criteria, fail (0)

Failure may result from an unsuccessful exam, insufficient active participation in group work, laboratory work or documentation that does not meet the minimum requirements.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

Demonstrated basic knowledge in the exam, as well as basic laboratory assignments completed, presented, and documented.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4)

Demonstrated good knowledge in the exam, as well as most laboratory assignments completed, presented, and documented.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Demonstrated excellent knowledge in the exam, as well as all laboratory assignments completed, presented, and documented.
