Introduction To Computer Engineering

This text is for first and second year undergraduates studying the fundamentals of computer engineering, digital logic and microprocessors. Assuming little background in computer systems, the book presents the basics then illustrates them with and examination of 8086 architecture and programming. The intention is to teach digital logic by using programmable logic devices (PLDs) and the CUPL language.

A one-semester, undergraduate course stressing the use of information transfer concepts necessary to analysis and design of modern digital systems. It is organized to provide an integrated overview of the various classes of digital information-processing systems and devices and the interrelationship between the hardware and software techniques that can be used to solve problems.

"This package represents the merging of two traditional freshman engineering courses: Intro to Computing (fortran and Basic) and Intro to Engineering (a discipline overview). The text is written for the required freshman course and is designed to give the students a basic knowledge of computer concepts and capabilities and to provide a broad overview/history of the engineering career. The new edition again focuses on Basic and Fortran as the primary programming languages but includes new material on various word processing systems,spreadsheets,computer aided design packages and some high-level language applications." -- Publisher.

Discusses most ideas behind a computer in a simple and straightforward manner. The book is also useful to computer enthusiasts who wish to gain fundamental knowledge of computers.

The Beginner’s Guide to Engineering series is designed to provide a very simple, non-technical introduction to the fields of engineering for people with no experience in the fields. Each book in the series focuses on introducing the reader to the various concepts in the fields of engineering conceptually rather than mathematically. These books are a great resource for high school students that are considering majoring in one of the engineering fields, or for anyone else that is curious about engineering but has no background in the field. Books in the series: 1. The Beginner’s Guide to Engineering: Chemical Engineering 2. The Beginner’s Guide to Engineering: Computer Engineering 3. The Beginner’s Guide to Engineering: Electrical Engineering 4. The Beginner’s Guide to Engineering: Mechanical Engineering

An Active Learning Approach to Teaching the Main Ideas in Computing Explorations in Computing: An Introduction to Computer Science and Python Programming teaches computer science students how to use programming skills to explore fundamental concepts and computational approaches to solving problems. Tbook gives beginning students an introduction to
