This course provides an introduction to computer organization and design. It builds on digital logic theory and devices to develop more complex systems. Graded assignments emphasize understanding and applying the basics of computer system organization, design, and operation. Students analyze contemporary computer organization by examining the operation of a program at the register level. Students learn, simulate, and program a modern processor. Assembly language programming provides system function control that bridges the gap between hardware and software. C programming demonstrates a high-level language greatly utilized in computing. The course introduces topics including RISC architectures, arithmetic processing, input/output, memory design, and parallel computing.

This course provides an introduction to computer architecture and organization using modern microprocessors. It builds on digital logic theory and embedded systems to develop more complex systems. Emphasis is placed on hands-on understanding of the basics of computer system organization, design, and operation. This includes the use of Register Transfer Language (RTL) to describe the movement of data in the computer and assembly language programming to control the system at a higher level. Additionally, students are introduced to modern engineering design tools through several labs using VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) to design, simulate and program a simple processor. Other topics such as microprogram control, RISC architectures, arithmetic processing, input/output, and memory design are introduced.
