Topics include machine code decoding, memory bus cycles, memory, arithmetic and logic unit, registers, latches, Boolean algebra, logic gates, state machines, binary representation, pipelining and Boolean equation optimization. Synthesis of the design of a computer in a hardware description language (HDL) is stressed. All topics are related to programming and overall computer system operations.

This course is an introduction to the internal organization of a computer. Topics include learning to program in assembly language, implementing high level logic such as loops and subroutines, and performing low level hardware access. AA/AS area 3D

This course is an extension of the language and techniques in CISP 317. Topics include stacks, call frames, arrays and structures in assembly language. Hardware related topics such as interrupts, preemption and multitasking are also introduced.

This is a course in Programming using the language of COBOL to analyze and solve problems found in business and government. The programs use sequential disk files for input. Both printed reports and disk files are demonstrated output options. Updating of sequential files involves the use of multiple files as input and output. Current methods of problem solving include programming structure, topdown design, and modular programming techniques. Topics covered include report formatting, control breaks, and single and
