EET 211 - Computer Systems/Microprocessors

This course is a continuation of EET 111. It is the study of digital computer sub-assemblies such as the central processing unit (CPU), data registers, data bus configurations, address registers, and various peripherals. Hardware, software, and firmware aspects of computer systems are studied with emphasis on microprocessor architecture and machine language programming. This course includes a laboratory section that has experiments and activities specifically designed to facilitate knowledge acquisition of course subject matter. In the laboratory, the student is required to build and troubleshoot complex control circuits and to program and interface a microprocessor with various input/output (I/O) devices and peripherals. Students must register for a lab component of this course.
