work
A second-year subject in the degree of Bachelor of
Engineering (Electrical- unstreamed).
Subject aims
Computer architecture: to familiarise the student with the
fundamentals of computer architecture. Students will gain an
understanding of programming at the assembly code level as
a foundation for their understanding of higher-level
languages. Students will be exposed to the basic
components that make up a computer system.
Software engineering: to provide a transition from a basic
understanding of programming languages gained in earlier
years to the fundamentals of software engineering. Students
should be able to apply the techniques of modular
programming and software engineering to the design and
implementation of modest software tasks.
