Catalog description

<b><font color="7A0018">Begins Fall 2025</b></font><br> The organization and behavior of real computer systems at the assembly-language level. The mapping of statements and constructs in a high-level language onto sequences of machine instructions is studied, as well as the internal representation of simple data types and structures. Numerical computation is examined, noting the various data representation errors and potential procedural errors. This course includes a hands-on, project-based learning approach that allows students to directly interact with computer hardware, fostering a deeper understanding of machine-level operations and data structures.
