Session ENG 206-116 Design and Development of Virtual Instrument (VI) Modules for an Introductory Digital Logic Course Nikunja Swain, Ph.D., PE South Carolina State University swain@ Raghu Korrapati, Ph.D. Walden University rkorrapa@ Abstract Today’s test environment is more challenging than ever as pressure on increasing quality and meeting time-to-market continue to increase. Because of these recent advances in computer and other technologies, it is becoming evident that a sound foundation in computers and computer networking is critical for success in many kinds of computer-based work To address this, majority of the undergraduate programs have courses in Digital Logic, Computer Architecture, and Computer Networking with Digital Logic being the first course and prerequisite for other computer hardware courses. The objective of these courses are to provide the graduates with solid foundation in computers and their applications to solve real world problems. A problem for these students is the solution of problems in textbooks through the use of routine problem solving techniques such as equations and formulae. But the students’ over reliance upon formulae and routine use of technique in problem solving too often lead to poor performance in real world scenarios. Also, the students’ lack of comprehension of logical and mathematical concepts results in time wastage during laboratory experiments, misinterpretations of lab data and underachievement in standardized science and engineering tests that stress the fundamentals. This problem can be effectively addressed by improving the student’s conceptual underst
