9. Keywords Memory, Register, CPU ,Core i 7, Core i5, I/O

10. Course overview: The course computer architecture covers Microprocessor architecture and organization, Bus architectures, types and buffering

techniques, Memory and I/O subsystems, organization, timing and interfacing, Peripheral controllers and programming. The

course is also Focusing on the fundamental principles of 8086/8088 microprocessor addressing modes, data movements

instructions, arithmetic and logic instructions, program control instruction, 8086/8088 hardware specifications, memory

interface, basic I/O interface, interrupts, direct memory

11. Course objective: This course aims to equip students with this course is to provide extensive knowledge of microcomputer based on

Microprocessor systems and interfacing techniques.

mailto:[email protected]



To introduce the basic concepts of Microcomputer and microprocessor and assembly language programming.

Be aware of the applications of Micrcomputers and Micrprocessors.

Be familiar with the major components of and types of Microprocessors.

Understand the role of Microprocessors.

Be familiar with the role of Microprocessors and prepherals.

12. Student's obligation Homework is normally given and unexpected quizzes provide an active way to keep the students active and more in touch with

the subject. In addition quizzes, students attendance and their activity on the lectures will all collected together to form the 3%

assessment of each semester.

In the laboratory there will be weekly programmes to be written by the students and the achievement of these programmes

will be graded. We may have assignments and practical exams also.

13. Forms of teaching Lectures: power point presentations are used in addition to the whiteboard clarification which is usually used to make a frequent step by

step communication with the students

Practices:

In the lab the students will use their computers and the principles taken in the theory will be run by the students to give them

more information.

14. Assessment scheme The course breaks compound two parts theortical, and practical sessions. There are exams to assess each student; 1st semester

exam, 2nd semester exam, and the final exam.

The theoretical Exams only cover the theoretical part of the unit. The total marks will be as follows:



First Semester Exam: 12 %

First Semester daily activities (quize and homewoks): 3%

First Semester LAB exam and activity (exams, assighnments and projects): 10 %

Second Semester Exam: 12%

Second Semester daily activities (quizzes and homeworks): 3%

Second Semester LAB exam and activity (exams, assighnments and projects): 10%

Average Marks for both semesters (1&2) are: 50 %

Final Exam: 50%‌
