Course Description of Some Faculty Requirements

ENGG 1203 Introduction to Computers

This course provides an introduction to computers and computing. Topics include the impact of computers

on society, ethical issues, and hardware/software applications, including spreadsheets, databases, word

processors, graphics, the Internet, and operating systems. Upon completion, students should be able to

demonstrate an understanding of the role and function of computers and use the computer to solve problems.

Version 13.5

ECOM 2324 Computer Programming II

This course is designed to allow students to experience how a real world computer application ECOMs to

life. This course builds on their previous programming skills and includes more advanced GUI techniques.

In addition to smaller projects, students will work together to complete a large programming project of their

choosing by the end of the semester. After many weeks of coding, they will complete an online help file,

present their work to the class, and create WebPages showcasing their work.

ECOM 2124 Computer Programming II Lab

Lab assignments on topics covered in ECOM 2324 Computer Programming II.

ECOM 2325 Computer Organization and Assembly Language

The purpose of this course is to introduce computing systems below that of a high-level programming

language. The material covered can be broadly separated into the categories of assembly language

programming and computer organization. Under the heading of assembly language programming students

will be introduced to the i386 instruction set, low-level programming, the Linux memory model, as well as

the internal workings of compilers, assemblers and linkers. Topics under computer organization include

basic computer architecture: system bus, memory hierarchy, and input/output devices.

ECOM 2125 Computer Organization and Assembly Language Lab

ECOM 3311 Computer Architecture

This course covers organization, structure, and design of computers, starting with a review of the original

Von Neumann machine. Major architectural improvements since 1950 are reviewed, and the contemporary

view of multilevel, virtual machines is introduced. Topics include instruction set designs including RISC,

addressing, interrupt and trap handling, stacks, data paths control, horizontal and vertical

microprogramming, busses, paging, segmentation, and cache. Mapping of twos complement arithmetic onto

register level hardware, including simple control units for Booth’s Algorithm and non-restoring division also

are covered.

ECOM 3312 Data Structures and Algorithms

In this course we will cover both data structures and algorithms. Students are individually responsible for the

specification, design, implementation and practical demonstration of correctness of the abstract data type

sets, functions, sequences, stacks, queues, and strings. Special emphasis will be given to searching and

sorting algorithms. Other algorithms covered will include compression, encryption, hashing, and sorting.

Compilation Techniques, Analysis and Optimization of: Execution Time, Energy, Power, and Program Size,

Program Validation and Testing.

ECOM 3324 Software Engineering

Software engineering is concerned with long-term, large-scale programming projects. Software management,

cost estimates, problem specification and analysis, system design techniques, system testing and

performance evaluation, and system maintenance. Students will design, manage, and implement a medium-

sized project.

ECOM 4311 Digital Systems Design

Hierarchical modular design of digital systems, design modeling with a hardware description language,

functional and timing simulation of digital systems, implementation in programmable logic devices and

field-programmable gate arrays, formal verification, fault models and testing. Designs are developed,

simulated and implemented in field-programmable gate arrays in laboratory sessions.
