1. Course Objectives: The aim of the course is to enable students to gain a detailed view of computer architecture at hardware and software levels.
2. Learning Outcomes: After completing the course students should be able to:
1. Explain the operation of logic gates and analyze their use. 2. Describe the operations of various memory devices and design simple circuits. 3. Explain the basic structure of Assembly instructions. 4. Describe the operations of current hard drive mechanisms and their standards and
investigate their format. 5. Describe the architecture of modern processors, memory and expansion bus
architectures. 6. Describe the necessary components and functions of an operating system and
understand the concepts of file systems and memory management.

4. Examination Marking Criteria The questions in the midterm and Final Examination will test various aspects like knowledge, comprehension, application, analyses, synthesis/creation and evaluation. Reproducing what has been learned will not grantee a high pass mark in the course. It is required to demonstrate an ability to integrate all that has been learned in this subject with understanding and comprehension.
5. Scope and Focus of the Assignment(s) The students are required to do assignments to design logic circuits, simplify the logic expressions using Boolean algebra and K-map techniques, demonstrate the logic and flow of simple programs of Assembly language, design combinational circuits, determine the types of memory devices, bus and CPU architectures, demonstrate the proper procedures for installing and configuring common peripheral devices and assembling and dismantling of the PC.
6. Academic Integrity Any kind of involvement in academic dishonesty will be dealt with seriously as per the student handbook policies section 5. Plagiarism is a serious academic offense that can lead to dismissal. KIC Plagiarism policy outlines the procedure that will be followed in case of plagiarism.

Teaching Methods
The students will be given extensive in-class workshops and home assignments asking them to design logic circuits, simplify the logic expressions using Boolean algebra and K-map techniques, demonstrate the logic and flow of simple programs of Assembly language, design combinational circuits, determine the types of memory devices, bus and CPU architectures, demonstrate the proper procedures for installing and configuring common peripheral devices and assembling and dismantling of the PC.
Students are expected to practice in IT / A+ lab, outside regular classes, with the help of the lab technician or a teaching assistant to help and guide them for the installation and configuration of common peripheral devices and assembling and dismantling of the PC. The lecturer must make sure that students have acquired the necessary practical skills in assembling/disassembling PCs and writing simple assembly language routines by monitoring them in the IT / A+ lab.
The students are also encouraged to use educational CD ROMs accompanying their textbooks, use of the CD-ROM data base in the library for CBT and use of internet for state-of-the-art global information.
Skills to be developedThis course helps students in developing the following skills:
1. Communication (oral & written): Through assignments, workshop, presentation sessions, class discussions and examinations
2. Analytical: Through in-class assignments to
understand logic3. Team Work: Through in-class assignments /
workshops4. Creative thinking: Through case studies, assignments,
classroom discussions, workshops5. Adaptability to change: Through the assignments containing
research for one device made by many manufacturers
6. Ethics: Team work, citation, copy right law.
7. Use of Information Technology MS-Power Point, TASM, Logic aid
Attendance Policy 1. Students who are late for 10-15 minutes will have to take permission form the
Program Manager to attend the class 2. Students who are late for more than 15 minutes might be allowed to sit for the class
but will be marked either as late or as absent in the attendance record. 3. More than 30% Absenteeism of the classes, student will be deprived from the final
exam.
