AIMS:
The course covers logic design, computer organization, and system
programming. Its aim is to provide knowledge and skills on the covered topics. In the end we expect students to comprehend the basic working principles of a digital computer. In class, we present the
theoretical framework. In the lab hours by using several tools, digital
design and assembly language programming will be practiced.
