DESCRIPTION/RATIONALE:

This course examines computer hardware and the control of external components from an engineering perspective. Students solve problems and study the functions of key computer components and peripherals, logic gates, fundamental programming concepts, internal numbering and character representation systems, and networks. Students also develop an awareness of future educational opportunities and careers in the field of computer engineering.

Students can apply concepts learned to acquiring industry accepted certification levels.

CORE CONTENT:

Time Allotment

Unit 1: Hardware 12 hours

Students will identify and explain the functions of the basic components of a typical computer
Safety is emphasized in hands-on work with computers
Students create a database of lab components and individual computer log sheets

Unit 2: Networking 17 hours

Students explore network types, architecture, cabling standards and topology
Students problem-solve to build and configure various network types and recommending network designs for different scenarios
The importance of network connectivity and infrastructure is emphasized

Unit 3: Integrated Circuits 20 hours

Students study integrated circuits and how computers represent data and the standard coding for internal numbering and character representation
They learn to identify and hardwire the fundamental logic gates
They use Boolean algebra and devise truth tables to test and describe their functionality

Unit 4: Computer Programming 30 hours

Students learn to program using a problem-solving model.
Fundamental structures include variable declarations, assignment statements, input/output structures, selection, and looping

Unit 5: Computer Interfacing

Students integrate hardware and software applications
Students design and write computer programs to: send signals through a parallel port to a peripheral; display graphic representation of the peripheral; and accept input from a user via a mouse to send appropriate signals to a peripheral
