Course objectives:
• Understand the organization and architecture of computer systems, their structure and
operation
• Illustrate the concept of machine instructions and programs
• Demonstrate different ways of communicating with I/O devices
• Describe different types memory devices and their functions
• Explain arithmetic and logical operations with different data types
• Demonstrate processing unit with parallel processing and pipeline architecture
Teaching-Learning Process (General Instructions)

These are sample Strategies, which teachers can use to accelerate the attainment of the various
course out comes.
1. Lecturer method (L) needs not to be only traditional lecture method, but alternative effective
teaching methods could be adopted to attain the outcomes.
2. Use of Video/Animation to explain functioning of various concepts.
3. Encourage collaborative (Group Learning) Learning in the class.
4. Ask at least three HOT (Higher order Thinking ) questions in the class, which promotes critical
thinking.
5. AdoptProblemBasedLearning(PBL),whichfostersstudents’Analyticalskills,developdesignthin
king skills such as the ability to design, evaluate, generalize, and analyze information
rather than simply recall it.
6. Introduce Topics in mani fold representations.
7. Show the different ways to solve the same problem with different circuits/logic and
encourage the students to come up with their own creative ways to solve them.
8. Discuss how every concept can be applied to the real world-and when that's possible,
it helps improve the students' understanding.

Course outcome (Course Skill Set)

At the end of the course, the student will be able to :
1. Explain the organization and architecture of computer systems with machine
instructions and programs
2. Analyze the input/output devices communicating with computer system
3. Demonstrate the functions of different types of memory devices
4. Apply different data types on simple arithmetic and logical unit
5. Analyze the functions of basic processing unit, Parallel processing and pipelining
Assessment Details(both CIE and SEE)
The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam
(SEE) is50%. The minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum marks (20
marks out of 50)and for the SEE minimum passing mark is 35% of the maximum marks (18
out of 50 marks). A student shall be deemed to have satisfied the academic requirements and
earned the credits allotted to each subject/ course if the student secures a minimum of 40%
(40 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation) and
SEE(Semester End Examination) taken together.
Continuous Internal Evaluation:

• For the Assignment component of the CIE, there are 25 marks and for the Internal
Assessment Test component, there are 25 marks.
• The first test will be administered after 40 - 50% of the syllabus
hasbeencovered,andthesecondtestwillbeadministeredafter85-90% of the syllabus has been
covered
• Any two assignment methods mentioned in the 22OB2.4, if an assignment is project-
based then only one assignment for the course shall be planned. The teacher should
not conduct two assignments at the end of the semester if two assignments are planned.
• For the course, CIE marks will be based on a scaled-down sum of two tests and
other methods of assessment.
Internal Assessment Test question paper is designed to attain the different levels of Bloom’s
taxonomy as per the outcome defined for the course.
Semester-End Examination:
Theory SEE will be conducted by University as per the scheduled timetable, with common
question papers for the course(duration 03 hours).
1. The question paper will have ten questions. Each question is set for 20 marks.
2. There will be 2 questions from each module. Each of the two questions under a module
(with a maximum of 3 sub-questions), should have a mix of topics under that module.
3. The students have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module.
4. Marks scored shall be proportionally reduced to 50 marks
