Course Outcomes:
At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
CO1: Explain the basic organization of a computer system.
CO2: Demonstrate functioning of different sub systems, such as processor, Input/output, and memory.
CO3: Design and analyses simple arithmetic and logical units.
CO4: Interpret the structure and functionality of embedded systems and digital logic components such as
microcontrollers, sensors, and logic gates.
Evaluation Method
Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE):
Three Internal Tests will be conducted for 50 marks each and average of three will be taken (A).
Three Quizzes will be conducted along with CIE for 10 Marks Each. Sum of three quizzes will be
considered for 30 marks (B).
Two Assignments for 10 marks each and the sum of both the assignments will be taken for 20
Marks (C).
Final CIE Marks will be calculated as (A+B+ C)/2 for 50 marks.
Semester End Examination (SEE):
The question paper consists of two parts, A and B.
Part A: Consists of 10 questions (2 questions from each module) of 2 marks each.
Part B: The question paper should have 10 questions. Each question carries 16 marks. There should
be 2 questions from each module, with a maximum of 2 subdivisions. Students have to answer any 5
questions choosing one full question from each module.
The SEE Theory marks of 100 will be scaled down to 50.
The Final mark for the course is sum of the CIE and SEE Marks.
