An introduction to computer architecture and hardware design. Topics include: computer abstractions and technology, performance evaluation, instruction set architectures, computer arithmetic, pipelining, memory systems, and interfacing. Laboratory assignments will include the use of hardware description languages, machine languages and assembly languages, and hardware emulation using FPGA boards. State-of-the-art computer simulation tools are used as part of the course.

E&C ENG 499T is Part 2 of the senior honors thesis in ECE, preceded in the fall by Part 1 (E&C ENG 499Y). Individual student research is directly contracted with the faculty chairs who supervise the work. In addition, all 499T and 499P students participate in a common thesis/project seminar that supports development of the 499T thesis research and document.
