Students acquire the ability to synthesise and analyse combinatorial and squential circuits in the field of digital technology. Using the methods of minimising Boolean functions and methods for implementation in hardware, they are able to design simple digital circuits and implement them in hardware. With the basic knowledge and methods, students acquire the ability to familiarise themselves with complex CAD tools for synthesising and analysing digital circuits.
