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.

DGS355 - Digital Systems

This course is a continuation of the prerequisite course of Introductory Logic DGS 255.

While addressing a number of different areas of digital design the course predominately concentrates on the applications and programming of Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLD's). Different logic families and their interfacing will also be considered.

Approximately one-half of the course time is devoted to laboratory exercises. The laboratory exercises are used to reinforce digital design theory and verifying circuit operation by programming and testing a CPLD. An introduction to writing VHDL code that can be synthesised for implementation in a CPLD, is part of the course.

Troubleshooting programs and hardware is an integral part of the course.

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.

MIR355 - Microcomputer Repair

The course provides students with a comprehensive overview of microcomputer hardware and software. Upon completion of the course, the student will acquire a solid foundation in microcomputer concepts, including defining hardware components, installing and configuring operating systems, networking concepts, virtualization, and troubleshooting techniques

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.
