Case Study: Students will leam the fundamental building docks of logic gates and combinational drcuits using simulations and zyBook activities. We will also discuss the Von Neuman model and the instruction execution cycle. These topics will show how computers work internally and how a written program is converted to work on the computer.
Content will be delivered via zyBook reading and simulations.
Student grasp of content will be measured via discussion posts, zyBook participation and challenge completion, Quiz 2, and Assignment 2.
