5. Assessment and Evaluation

Cognitive Abilities: Cognitive abilities are assessed by a combination of written examinations

and continuous assessment, including marked essays, class tests and computer

programming problems.

Practical Abilities: Practical Abilities are assessed mostly by continuous assessment. Some of

practical abilities are assessed as part of group project module.

Transferable skills: some skills, like the use of software tools and ability to communicate orally

and in written form are directly assessed, in assignments or projects, other skills are not

directly assessed but their effective use will enhance the students overall performance.

Evaluation will be done based on the midterm exam, assignments, laboratory sessions

demonstrations, Project work, and final exam and etc


6

6. Assignment of Course Codes

The course code will have four alphabets and four digit numbers like Itec1011. The four

alphabets code indicates the name of the program with the first alphabet capital letter, For

instance, Itec indicates abbreviation of the program of Information Technology. The four digits

indicates the year of course offering (the first number, 1, indicates the level of the course in

terms of the year; accordingly '1' for 1st year, '2' for 2nd year , 3 for 3rd year and 4 for 4th

year courses); the middle numbers, 01, indicates module code number in the program (example

01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10), the last number, 1, indicates order of the course within

the module.

Course

Description

All students of computing should acquire some understanding and

appreciation of a computer systems functional components, their characteristics, their performance, and their interactions. Students need to

understand computer architecture in order to structure a program so that it

runs more efficiently on a real machine. The focus of this course is to deal

with Digital logic and digital systems; Machine level representation of

data; Assembly level machine organization; Memory system organization

and architecture; Interfacing and communication; and Functional

organization.

Course Objective Describe the progression of computer architecture from vacuum tubes to VLSI.

Demonstrate an understanding of the basic building blocks and their role in the historical development of computer architecture.

Use mathematical expressions to describe the functions of simple combinational and sequential circuits.

Design a simple circuit using the fundamental building blocks.

Course Outline 1. Digital logic and digital systems

1.1. Overview and history of computer architecture 1.2. Fundamental building blocks (logic gates, flip-flops, counters,

registers, PLA)

1.3. Logic expressions, minimization, sum of product forms 1.4. Register transfer notation 1.5. Physical considerations (gate delays, fan-in, fan-out)

2. Data Representation

2.1. Bits, bytes, and words 2.2. Numeric data representation and number bases 2.3. Fixed- and floating-point systems 2.4. Signed and twos-complement representations 2.5. Representation of nonnumeric data (character codes, graphical

data)

2.6. Representation of records and arrays

3. Assembly level machine organization

3.1. Basic organization of the von Neumann machine 3.2. Control unit; instruction fetch, decode, and execution 3.3. Instruction sets and types (data manipulation, control, I/O) 3.4. Assembly/machine language programming 3.5. Instruction formats 3.6. Addressing modes 3.7. Subroutine call and return mechanisms 3.8. I/O and interrupts

4. Memory system organization and architecture

Description

This course will explore the Introduction to Object Technology; Principles of

Modeling, Principles of Object Orientation; systems development using the object

technology; Modeling; principles of modeling; requirements gathering and

modeling using use case; techniques of modeling static and dynamic aspects of

systems; finding classes and objects; Interaction Diagrams - sequence and

collaboration diagrams; Class Diagrams; object diagram; activity diagram;

Statechart diagrams; component diagram; deployment diagram. Individual and/or

team project involving reports and walk-through in systems analysis and design is

also a major component of this course using CASE tools.

Course

Objectives

At the end of the course students will be able to:

Understand the object technology and modeling principles.

Know the techniques of modeling aspects of systems

Analyze user requirements using UML of OO techniques.

Make a detailed design using UML of OO techniques.

Methodology

The course will be delivered in lectures (with a participatory approach) - students are encouraged to ask

questions and also they are encouraged to answer whenever questions are raised), present their

assignments in the class and actively participate in the tutorial program.
