Digital electronics and Robotics is a two semester elective course. The course will include study of linear circuits, electrical components such as diodes and transistors, and integrated components (timers, counters, and displays). All circuits will be analyzed via computer simulation and an actual construction in the electronics lab. Applications of electronics to robotics will be integrated throughtout the course, and the course will end with a more complete study of robotics in which students will build, program, and control several robots of their own design.
