Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

  • Numbering systems, Boole algebra
  • Logical variables and functions, function table, Karnaugh diagram
  • Combinational functions : full adder, comparator, binary decoder, multiplexer, priority encoder.
  • Sequential functions : bistables, flip flops, Latches, shift register, counters.
  • For each item, applications related to the field of climatic and environmental parameter measure and regulation will be presented

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

To give the conception basis of electronic circuits used in the field of environmental and climatic measurement and regulation.
After completing the course the student is expected to be able to


  • carry out elementary operations on binary and hexadecimal numbers (including the use of binary files)
  • carry out elementary operations on binary and hexadecimal numbers (including the use of binary files)
  • understand and use logical circuits data sheets
  • use elementary logical gates to conceive electronic circuits realizing combinational logic functions.
  • coordinate a series of logical operations and to conceive electronic circuits realizing sequential logic functions.
This course helps to build the skill : "Conceive technological solutions used to define equipments, systems, infrastructures and services for needs in the field of environment".

Assessment methods and criteria

Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.

Any session :

- In-person

oral exam

- Remote

oral exam

- If evaluation in "hybrid"

preferred remote
