Teaching-learning and assessment strategy Synopsis :

This course has been designed to cover basic concepts on which the stored program digital computer is formulated. These include the functional units of a computer (hardware), the flow (buses) and storage (memory management) of information, the representation and manipulation of numbers in binary form, and the five to seven levels around which any computer is designed. In particular, the introduction to the CPU (Central Processing Unit) and assembly language programming provides a basis understanding on how computer is functioned. While the material presented on gates, Boolean Logic and circuit design provides a basis for further understanding in digital design or microprocessor systems. 14 15 Mode of Delivery : Lecture
