Course Introduction

This course provides basic knowledge necessary to understand the hardware operation and programming of a basic
digital computer system. This course also emphasizes on understanding the hardware architecture and software structure
of microprocessors/microcontrollers. Upon completion of this course, students will have working knowledge of a
modern computer system architecture along with supporting devices, will be able to utilize and program
microcontrollers/microprocessors for any real-world application, and interface and control devices using
microcontrollers/microprocessors.
