which contains course information lecture notes pointers to project resources and the latest announcements Course Description and Course Objectives This course is intended for first year students to serve both as a general introduction to engineering for all engineering majors but also as a foundational course for the computer engineering and computer science degree programs The course provides bottoms up coverage of the critical concepts in the operation and design of computing systems starting with transistors then logic gates then complex logic structures then gated latches and memory The course removes all of the mystery about the operation of computer systems by methodically and progressively explaining the implementation and behavior of each important layer of abstraction in the hardware of a computer system The course will also explore the increasingly pervasive role that computing devices particularly those embedded in appliance like systems play in modern society as well as the historical importance of computing as a powerful tool and enabler for virtually all engineering and scientific disciplines Within that context the course will discuss the ethical economic social and political impacts that computers have had on our society in the past fifty years and will continue to have in the future There are no prerequisites for this course The course will provide students with 1 A basic understanding of several aspects of computer engineering practice including basic hardware design and low level assembly language programming 2 Awareness of some of the ethical social political and economic influences on and impacts of engineering 3 Introductory skills in teamwork with peers 4 Experience in written and oral communication with an engineering audience 5 Preliminary development of the habits of mind that engineering study and practice require 6 Elementary knowledge of other disciplines in engineering Small group Homework Completion There will be approximately eight homework assignments about one every other week which may not be weighted equally Some assignments will require the review of material that is touched upon but not covered in depth in class Most of the homework assignments must be completed in groups of two to three students Each group should submit only one completed homework and all members of the group will receive the same grade however each homework submitted must include a statement of work that summarizes the contributions of each student in the group The intent here is to encourage you to develop relationships with your fellow students and form study groups these connections will prove invaluable in your later engineering courses You will not receive full credit if you complete group homework assignments individually not in a group No late homework will be accepted Course Outline subject to change Week Date 0 9 1 2008 9 3 2008 9 5 2008 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Chapter No lecture Course
