DISABILITY ACCOMMODATIONS
Students needing academic accommodations for a disability must first be registered with Disability Accommodations & Success Strategies (DASS) to verify the disability and to establish eligibility for accommodations. Students may call 214-768-1470 or visit http://www.smu.edu/alec/dass.asp to begin the process. Once registered, students should then schedule an appointment with the professor to make appropriate arrangements.

RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCE
Religiously observant students wishing to be absent on holidays that require missing class should notify their professors in writing at the beginning of the semester, and should discuss with them, in advance, acceptable ways of making up any work missed because of the absence.  (See University Policy No. 1.9.)

EXCUSED ABSENCES FOR UNIVERSITY EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Students participating in an officially sanctioned, scheduled University extracurricular activity should be given the opportunity to make up class assignments or other graded assignments missed as a result of their participation. It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements with the instructor prior to any missed scheduled examination or other missed assignment for making up the work.    (See the University Undergraduate Catalog).

CATALOG DESCRIPTION
Covers the history of logic and its application to digital switching circuitry. Topics include algebraic, combinational, and sequential circuitry. Emphasizes programmable logic and hardware description languages for modeling, synthesis, and simulation. Introduces the controller plus datapath architecture present in the majority of modern information processing circuits. Requires a weekly corequisite laboratory.
