Computer systems engineering I

J C Ochsenbein

6 points + 52 lecture/tutorial hours, 26 laboratory hours + Second semester + Gippsland + Prerequisites: GEG3533

Objectives The student is expected to develop an awareness of the need for dedicated design and fault finding tools in computer systems engineering in order to optimise the design and the maintenance of the equipment. The student is expected to develop confidence in using a wide variety of dedicated tools including an integrated workstation for designing and troubleshooting in digital systems.

Synopsis This subject emphasises hardware requirements, trouble shooting and design techniques used for digital systems. An in depth study of microcomputer interfacing techniques, design of interface circuits and a section on microcomputer trouble-shooting techniques familiarise the student with testing equipment. The logic development system is used to develop the concept of an integrated workstation for the design and fault finding of microcomputer systems.

Assessment Examination: 60% + Laboratory examination: 30% + Assignments: 10%
