Abstract:
To understand the operation of digital systems, it is important that the student grasp the basic concepts of digital logic elements. However, the cost associated with purchasing logic training equipment to enable students gain practical experience can be significant. This paper therefore, discuses prototype fabrication of a logic training module and highlights the use as an aid to enhance teaching and learning of digital computer fundamentals. It describes the development of the training kit working through the components of its parts. The practical demonstration of the module for determination of the behaviour of some logic circuit devices is then presented. The result of implementing logic expression using our prototype module is demonstrated and the results show that the module works well as improvising for declining availability of imported version due to their high cost. The performances reported from the module are in encouraging agreement as deployed in standard practice.
