Aim
To give basic knowledge and overiews needed for further indepth studies in the areas of digital techniques and computer engineering
Content
Introduction to
- fundamental elements and concepts of digital techniques and computer engineering
- combinational and sequential networks
- the traditional computer as a synchronously working digital machine
- its instruction executing way of processing and communicating with surroundings
- binary coding of data and instructions
- the formation of an assembly language and writing programs therein
- relations between control structures in conventional high-level languages and structures of assembly instructions
- the process of compilation.
Organisation
Following the introduction students are working, on their own and in groups, with well defined topics according to a time schedule. Some training is done with assistance of instructors. When suitable students will build and test their designs in laborative excercises. Each topic is closed through a lecture rounding up the topic and treating its essentials.
Examplifying is done through realistic excercises. A simple traditional processor is used, as pedagogical means, for excercises and as target for writing programs and other studies.
