Logic Circuits Unveiled: Bridging the Gap between Discrete Mathematics and Computer Science Education

Discrete mathematics is crucial for a Computer Science major, yet often challenging. We describe how to integrate Digital Circuit labs with a Discrete Math course, employing active learning methods. Our approach, featuring a logic simulator application and a digital circuit lab kit, enhances comprehension of relevance of content, and student engagement. We describe the design of our course and discuss the latest changes made to improve lab engagement and better connect them to the theory seen in lecture.
