[QUOTE="kiran6680, post: 2500445, member: 91963"] Ok, "touch base" is extraordinarily vague. What exactly, with examples, do you want to be taught ? What happened with me in 2002 was: 1. We learnt logic gates 2. Built 8085 using logic gates 3. We were taught 8086 architecture, which is an iteration over 8085 4. Instead of building 8086, we programmed it - on regular 386 / Pentium 1 PCs, using the fact that they were backward compatible with 8086 instructions. This completes the flow between logic gates and latest processors. The expansion of features, registers, cache, security, instruction sets between 8086 and 386 is left out, but any "engineering" understanding of that topic was too complex to be understood by undergraduate students, not specialising in hardware. That would have cut some other course : which course would you sacrifice for this ? And engineering colleges are not for writing essays, so non engineering understanding makes no sense. We could have searched in the library, or the new fangled internet if curious. What would you add to the actual curriculum? [/QUOTE]
