Prerequisite: CS 1371 Computing
for Engineers (or CS 1301 or CS 1321)
Course Objective: Introduction to fundamental
concepts in computer system and digital design. Coverage includes architectural
concepts, software, Boolean algebra, number systems, combinational datapath
elements, sequential logic, and storage elements. The objective on this
course is to present students with the basic building blocks and techniques
necessary for the design of digital electronic circuits and there application
to the design and operation of basic datapaths that form the core of modern
processors.
