It covers the concept of logic gates which is one of the basic building blocks from which many different kinds of logic system can be constructed. It also covers Boolean algebra which is the mathematical technique used in considering problems of a logical nature; Karnaugh mapping, to simplify Boolean expressions; and adders and flip-flops as necessary elements for digital circuits.

COURSE CODE: CS 207
COURSE TITLE: PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
COURSE CREDIT: 3 UNITS
COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course is a comparative study of different programming which includes constructs, data structures, control and iteration. It also extensively discusses the implementation of languages.

COURSE CODE: CS 208
COURSE TITLE: DATA COMMUNICATION AND NETWORKING
COURSE CREDIT: 3 UNITS
COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The course considers the issue on historical evolution of distributed computing and identifies the different types of data communication networks. It also covers electrical characteristics of different types of physical transmission medium used in the basic laws and theories that determine their use.
