Additional Course Information
Topical Outline: Each offering of this course must include the following topics (be sure to include information regarding lab,
practicum, and clinical or other non-lecture instruction).
The following performance will be expected of any student completing this course with a
passing grade. There is no absolute time limit on the performance of these objectives, unless noted, but the grade
received by the student will depend, in part, on the relative speed and precision of the student's performance in these
tasks. Where subjective evaluations are indicated, the instructor will make these judgments based on his or her
knowledge of the skills required to place a graduate with the expectation of successful on-job performance.
The student will be expected to show understanding in the following in written examination or laboratory
demonstration:
Hardware
Computer Systems
The bus concept
Input techniques
Output techniques
Memory
Memory Hierarchy
Primary Memory RAM/ROM
Secondary Memory
CPU-Introduction to processing action

Quizzes
Reassessed in Capstone Experience: CETT 2349 Final Project course
Required text(s), optional text(s) and/or materials to be supplied by the student:
No text required; Instructor handouts
Calculator scientific with Sine, Cosine, Tangent capabilities
Ardurino or similar Micro Controller
Suggested Course Maximum:
20 lecture, 20 laboratory
List any specific or physical requirements beyond a typical classroom required to teach the
course.
Lecture facilities for 20 students. Laboratory facilities for 20 students must include 10 bench positions each with a digital
meter, logic probe, 50 MHz oscilloscope and probes, bread boarding facility
with power supply and signal generator, and a stock of basic circuit components.
Course Requirements/Grading System: Describe any course specific requirements such as research papers or
reading assignments and the generalized grading format for the course.
Evaluation of Performance:
Course grades will be determined by the percentage of course objectives for which the student can demonstrate
mastery and by attendance. Mastery of course objectives will be determined by written examinations, physical soldering
exams, an attendance grade as described in the Departmental Policy handout, a daily work grade which will include
graded homework, graded laboratory work, and a comprehensive final exam.
Approximate Grade Evaluation Summary:
Major tests 60%
Attendance 10%
Lab reports, homework, and quizzes 15%
Final examination 15%
Grade Scale:
90 to 100: A
80 to 89: B
70 to 79: C
60 to 69: D
