Computer Electronics Engineering Curriculum

In summary, the speaker is seeking help in constructing a list of topics and appropriate texts for self-study on the construction and building of computer parts and sciences. They mention having difficulty finding material beyond basic electronic foundations and are looking for a sequential approach. The suggested sequence includes learning about digital logic, micro-controllers and assembly language, computer architecture, and digital electronics. The speaker notes that the books recommended for digital electronics may be advanced for self-learners.

Hey guys, I'm kind of building from my previous post of self-study. I am interested in the construction/building of computer parts and sciences. I was wondering if anybody could help me construct a list of topics (in sequence preferably) along with appropriate texts to learn what's listed? I know it is asking a lot, but I can't seem to find anything beyond basic electronic foundations material. Maybe its just because I don't know what this topic entails?

Hi,

I would suggest the following sequence:

1. Digital Logic: learn how logic gates/operations function

e.g. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0072525037/?tag=pfamazon01-20

2. Micro-controllers: understand how µcontrollers work, also familiarize yourself with the low level Assembly language.

e.g. https://www.amazon.com/dp/013119402X/?tag=pfamazon01-20

3. Computer Architecture: understand the different approaches to the system design as well as the functionality of the components

e.g. ?

4. Digital Electronics: see how to convert logic design to actual circuits using CMOS transistors

e.g. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0195323033/?tag=pfamazon01-20

and/or

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0130909963/?tag=pfamazon01-20
Note that the books mentioned in #4 can be considered to be of advanced level for self learners.
