Abstract :
The use of PROLOG for digital circuit simulation in the education process is discussed. It is noted that the curriculum of the University of Maribor gives electrical engineering students some basic knowledge of computer techniques and FORTRAN or Pascal. On this basis, PROLOG can be presented to the students in order to acquaint them with some fundamentals of this fifth-generation language. The students who have acquired basic knowledge of PROLOG are able to define digital circuits specification programs as well as other simple PROLOG rules. The experience that students gain makes them capable of understanding similar models of conventional engineering as well as the basic working of expert systems
