Week of Oct 29

This week, we will start studying logic expressions and learn how to write logic expressions from the truth table and from a circuit diagram as well as the other way around.  Both lessons will have a video to instruct you what you should be doing for the assignments.  At the end of this unit, we will create our most complex circuit to date on Multisim and then bread-board it.  At this point, neatness counts, so pay attention to your wire routing and selection of individual devices so that your circuit is as easy to trouble-shoot and problem free as possible.

There are actually 2 different videos for class in the first part of the week: one to create the logic expression from a truth table and the other to create the truth table given a logic expression.

We will then go between logic expressions and circuit diagrams in the latter part of the week.


This Week at RRHS
We have a late start on Thursday, so there will be no tutorials and school begins at 9:25 on Thursday.  Friday will be a pep rally schedule.

College Rep Visits this Week
Monday - University of Texas
Tuesday - Texas A&M

Field Trip
On Friday, November 8, you can visit Texas State University's school of engineering.  There is no cost; they will provide lunch; and you may ride the bus from RRHS to San Marcos.  The bus will leave RRHS from the 700 bldg bus loop (along Lake Creek Street) at 7:30 a.m.  Be on time since we need to be in San Marcos before 9:00.  We will return around 3:30 or 3:45, in time for the end of the school day.  If you are interested, you need to fill out this form to let me know that you are interested and see me for 2 different permision forms that will need to be completed and returned to me this week.
