The [course_title] course covers the fundamental concepts of computer architecture covering abstractions, principles, and techniques used in the design of digital and computer systems. If you know electricity and programming, then enrol the course and design a computer system.
Focuses will be given on instruction set architectures and assembly language, stacks and procedures, 32-bit computer architecture, the memory hierarchy, and caches.
Upon completion, you will be able to design a computer system.
Assessment
This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
