What You'll Accomplish: In this project-focused* course, you'll build a modern computing system, from scratch.
We'll break this fascinating journey down into six hands-on projects that will take you from building elementary logic gates to creating a fully functional general-purpose computer.
In the process, you will learn, in the most direct and constructive way, how computers work and how they are designed.
What you'll need: This is a self-contained course: all the knowledge necessary to succeed in the course and build the computer system will be provided as part of the learning experience.
Therefore, we assume that we have no prior knowledge of computer science or engineering, and all students are welcome on board.
You will not need physical materials, as you will be building the computer on your own PC, using a software-based hardware simulator, just as real computers are designed by computer engineers in the field.
The hardware simulator, as well as other software tools, will be provided to you free of charge once you enroll in the course.
Course Format: The course consists of six modules, each comprising a series of video lectures and a project.
You will need 2-3 hours to watch the lectures for each module and 5-10 hours to complete each of the six projects.
The course can be completed in six weeks, but you can take it at your own pace.
