Computer Electronics Engineering Curriculum

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on building knowledge in computer parts and sciences through self-study. A suggested learning sequence begins with Digital Logic, emphasizing the understanding of logic gates and operations, followed by Micro-controllers, which covers their functionality and low-level Assembly language. The next topic is Computer Architecture, aimed at grasping system design and component functionality. Finally, Digital Electronics is recommended for learning how to translate logic design into physical circuits using CMOS transistors. The conversation highlights the need for appropriate texts to accompany each topic, noting that some suggested materials 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.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
