Course Description: The practical concepts of assembly language such as programming, digital device interfacing, and hardware/software interfacing will be introduced through a group project. Topics will include: assembler concepts; micro-controllers; the hardware/software interface. Laboratory techniques will also be introduced as needed. This is a project course with a few lectures and with laboratory tutorials.

Pre-requisites: ENSC 150-3 or CMP 150-3.
Recommended to be taken concurrently with CMP 250.
