PROGRAMME EXECUTION • Basic operations of the central processing unit (CPU) in a computer and how it executes programme instructions • Factors influencing the performance of a computer PROGRAMMES AND PROCESSOR INSTRUCTIONS • How high-level programmes are actually implemented using low-level processor instructions • Digital number representations and how basic arithmetic operations are carried out in the processor COMPUTER SUBSYSTEMS • Various subsystems such as memories and peripherals that make up a typical computing system What skills will I develop? COMPUTER INTERFACES • Interfaces and input/output (I/O) techniques that allow a computer to communicate with the external world Possible Careers • Computer Engineer • Computer Hardware Engineers • Malware Analyst PROBLEM-SOLVING Our DC This is a foundational course that teaches one about the core components in a computer and how they work. It also teaches us about the use of assembly language to tell the computer what to do directly. Ang Kai Jun Class of 2023 MPE Super Senior Says: This course has helped me develop my problem-solving skills and build a strong foundation for my other Computer Engineering courses. For instance, when I am writing in assembly language, I would need to write the code in an optimal manner since there is a tendency for assembly language to be used in time-critical codes. To sum things up, it was a fascinating experience to learn about all the individual components that make a computer run. EMBEDDED PROGRAMMING What will I learn? CORE TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE • Using Real-Time Operating System and Embedded Linux for embedded system development What skills will I develop? PROBLEM-SOLVING PROGRAMMING SKILLS • Design and develop multithreading and multitasking software for embedded applications EMBEDDED OS OPERATION • Porting and booting process of embedded OS-based systems Possible Careers • Embedded System Developer • Technical Manager • Consultant Manufacturing Engineer Our DC Super Senior Says: In this course, we were taught the basics of coding in a Linux environment without the aid of an integrated development environment (IDE). We also learnt the basics of writing low-level C code for embedded systems as well as certain core mechanisms needed in an embedded system such as interrupts, semaphores, and scheduling. I have learnt a lot about conducting my own research, both lab-based and online, to better understand the systems and functions we are working with. We were also required to conduct research online to find out how certain functions should be implemented. Ang Kai Jun Class of 2023 11 This is a very useful course as most of what was taught in this module are common components that are present in most systems and knowledge of these components are vital in the computer engineering field.
