Computer Hardware Stream

Students in the computer hardware stream will learn the basics of digital design at the gate and system/architectural level. Most people will spend their entire life no more than one meter away from some type of digital system (e.g. laptop, cell phone, PDA, iPod, GPS, auto, controllers, etc.) Digital hardware surrounds us all and affords many interesting careers. Students in this stream will study computer hardware, computer architecture, VLSI systems, and digital systems design.
