COM455 - Communications Fundamentals

This course provides students with an introduction to the physical layer of communication technology focusing on time and frequency domain analysis of baseband and modulated signals. Students will learn to locally and remotely control power supplies, signal generators, oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers as well as to perform automated test and measurement for capture and analysis of test data. Data will be generated, organized and analyzed using Excel and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools. Students will also be introducted to fiber optic communication technology. Students emerge with a sound understanding of communication technology and a suite of practical industry-ready skills.

DGS255 - Digital Systems

This course familiarises the student with the basic principles of digital logic and digital integrated circuits, including Programmable Logic devices (PLDs). Upon completion of the course the student will be able to describe and analyse logic circuit operation and use a programmable logic development system to program a PLD to implement simple digital systems. The course examines the basis of digital logic in the binary number system and Boolean algebra, the operation of combinational and sequential logic and the general interfacing requirements of digital logic circuits. A number of applications, implemented with a PLD, will be examined including basic gate circuits, flip-flops, decoders and sequential circuits such as counters.

The student will be expected to use the World-Wide-Web (WWW) for reference material and documentation relevant to the course and to have email.

MCO455 - Microcontroller Concepts

This is a one-semester introductory micro controller subject that deals with both the hardware and software of 32-bit devices. The micro controller used in MCO455 is the NXP FRDM-K64. It is one of over 170 different
MicroController boards that is supported by a development platform called MBED. Mbed was developed by ARM, the leader in 32-bit Micro Controllers that are developed specifically for IoT.

The subject examines introductory micro controller and IoT concepts. MBED provides a cloud compiler for program development. This compiler comes with a library written in C++ that is open source, royalty free and
works with over 170 different 32-bit micro controller boards from a variety of manufacturers. We will be exporting code developed on the CLOUD Compiler to MCUXpresso, that will allow us to trouble shoot the code down to the hardware registers of the FRDM-K64.

GEN001 - General Education Option

According to the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities, ?the purpose of General Education in the Ontario college system is to contribute to the development of citizens who are conscious of the diversity, complexity, and richness of the human experience; who are able to establish meaning through this consciousness; and, who, as a result, are able to contribute thoughtfully, creatively, and positively to the society in which they live and work. General Education strengthens students' generic skills, such as critical analysis, problem solving, and communication, in the context of an exploration of topics with broad-based personal and / or societal importance?. Please contact the School of English and Liberal Studies at your campus to find out more about the variety of General Education courses from which you can choose.
