Digital Logic Design

Role: Instructor.
Institute: Habib University
Offered in: Fall 2019

About:

Digital Electronics is at the very heart of the modern world. From smart phones to ‘Big Data’ to the electronics that controls our everyday lives, digital electronics plays a central role. An understanding of the basics of digital logic design is an essential skill for every engineer irrespective of their field of interest.

I was a lead-instructor of this course and was asked to redesign this course as much as competitive, challenging, demanding and the best course to make it renowned as “the flagship course” of Electrical and Computer Engineering department at Habib University. I, being the lead instructor, redesigned this course from scratch in Fall 2019. There were three other instructors involved in this course but, being a leader, I enforced them to keep the lecture contents the same in all five sections. To achieve this, I took the initiative to design the slides and distribute among all other instructors. We made the course project very challenging, but the lectures and lab manuals were designed to support students in the best possible way.

I also organized the DLD Project Exhibition and Competition (DPEC) for the very first time to appreciate students' efforts in achieving the challenging goals of the course project. Highlights of the course and DPEC 2019 can be seen in the following video.

This DPEC has become part of my legacy and now has been organized annually ever since. The glimpses of the entire course and the DPEC are shown in the following short 2.45m video.
