Figure 1 depicts a typical practical implementation of the logic function f . The students were asked to prepare the truth table of the circuits, and to implement them on breadboards and verify the expected functional operations. An Light Emitting Diode (LED)s were connected to the output of the logic circuits so that Logic 0 and Logic 1 output could be identified easily, i.e., when the light was on, Logic 1 is understood while logic 0 is interpreted when the light was off. x1

The results indicate that, at least for the sampleprojects, construction time was significantly lower when design-build delivery method was used.By converting the value of the intercept and assigned values of delivery methods to theirexponentials (EXP), the model for estimating actual construction time in South India may beexpressed as follows:TIME = 2.354*COSTβ1*EXP(DBB)-0.094*EXP(DB)-0.661 Eqn.
