Description:

Prerequisite(s): None Concurrent Course(s): CS 100L This course provides students with a solid understanding of the fundamental elements on which computers are based. Topics covered include number systems, operations in and conversions between number systems, representation of numbers in computation, basic electricity, electric circuits, digital systems, logic circuits, Boolean algebra, data representations, digital memory, microcontrollers, embedded systems, and an overview of operating systems. The theoretical lectures are followed up by labs, during which students will work together in small teams to build and test autonomous robotic car projects. This understanding of hardware will enable students to expand the limits of their future games with unique interface devices, while the practical experience of low-level programming will provide students with the skills essential for code optimization. This class meets weekly for three hours of lecture and two additional hours of supervised labs.
