HW#1
Due 1/18/2006
Individual assignment
If needed, enroll in course webpage
Review Course Outline
Read Chapter 0
Complete Online Quiz #1
Download HW grading sheet
“Digitally Drop” Word Document

Include your Name, Home University, Email Address, Intended
major, and a brief essay (less than one page) on “Why you want
to be an electrical or computer engineer?”
Send email to course instructor after dropping
assignment
Submit grading sheet on 1/18/2006
Homework Assignments
Two weeks to complete an assignment

No excuse for: network down, printer out of toner,
computer locks up, etc.
HW assignments will “overlap”

Average one assignment due every 1 ½ weeks.
HW’s will build upon one another

You may use solutions from previous HW’s
Homework assignments will be customized


Solutions will be given for a “general” problem
Individual online quizzes with most assignments
You must have working design for full credit
Homework Assignments
HW’s are “self-correcting” for the “right answer.”

I’ll check for the “correct” solution.
HW must be on time





Digital Drop Box (time stamped)
Both you and your partner must digitally submit.
Only one copy of handwritten notes needed per
group.
Only one HW grading sheet needed per group.
HW is due at the BEGINNING of class!!!!!

HW#2
Due: 1/25/2006
Reading Assignment:

Chapter 1 except for section 1.2.2
Online Assignment: Quizzes #2




Quiz A: Bin2Dec and Dec2Bin conversions
Quiz B: Two’s complement calculations
Quiz C: Binary addition
Quiz D: Binary subtraction
Book/Take-home Assignment: none
Quartus II Assignment: none
Comments:

Use % in front of binary results on online quizzes
Design Projects
Design projects DO NOT replace regular
homework assignments.

You may have both due during the same
week.
Hardware MUST work for more than ½
credit
TPS Quizzes
In-class quizzes.
Designed to “keep you awake.”
Mostly group quizzes
No make-up quizzes will be given


Used to monitor attendance
I will drop the three lowest quiz grades

“Digitally dropped” into Blackboard Site
This could take one hour or thirty hours depending
on your skills. I will help you avoid “landmines”
EEL-3705
Best Practices
Or, How do you get an A in this
class?
Collaborative Learning
Learning methodology in which
students are not only responsible
for their own learning but for the
learning of other members of the
group.
EEL-3705
Best Practices
Keep up with the course!!!

Coming to class.
HW is 5% which is equal to ½ a letter grade
For example, w/o HW, you need 90 of 95 points (or
95%) for an A

You will be allowed to work in groups, but
EEL-3705
Best Practices
The only way to learn
to design logic circuits
is to design logic
circuits.
EEL-3705
Best Practices
In other words,
practice makes
perfect.

Design Methodology
Definition:
Engineering Design
Methodology
A systematic approach to achieve the
desired goal of a solution to the problem
(i.e. working design) using proven
principles or practices.
Must follow EEL-3705 “Best Practices”
design methodology for full credit on
assignments

Design Abstraction
How do we “describe” a system?
Design Abstraction
Example: Design a “system” which will complement input A
A
F(x)
Y=A
A and Y are single bit values
We can “describe” this design using a logical Truth Table
A

Levels of Design Abstraction
Our goal in ECE is physical or
hardware implementations
of the design.

In ECE, we “design” at several levels of “abstraction”
Levels of Design Abstraction
System: Assembly Language
Behavioral: VHDL
Logical: Gates
Electronic Circuit: Transistors
Integrated Circuit: IC Layout
Fabrication: IC Processing
Levels of Design Abstraction
Example: Design a “system” which will complement input A
System Level: EEL-4746 (M68HC11)

Summary
All “levels” give you the same result.
We will learn how to use the “logical” or
gate level to its most effectiveness this
semester.

ADC = 8-bit Analog to Digital Converter
Converts an analog signal into a digital signal
Temp Sensor = Temp to voltage transducer (analog)
Your design = “talks” to the ADC
