COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN 2

CURRICULUM GRID
This module curriculum grid is based on the present curriculum used in the Malaysian Polytechnics
Ministry of Higher Education.

SYNOPSIS

Computer Aided Design 2 includes a general introduction to the basic concepts of simulation and
the use of computer packages for simulation of electronic circuits on circuit level and logic level.
Emphasis is given to basic design concepts and simulation for digital circuits using programmable
logic.

At the end of this module, students should be able to:-

1. Understanding the basic concepts and simulations using the simulation package
2. Using the simulation package for the circuit design schematic from analog and digital types.
3. Applying Logic Software package for designing integrated circuits (IC) from the type of circuit
combination and sequence
