 ===== Description  =====
-The course lays the conceptual foundation of object-oriented programming. It covers delegation and contracts, encapsulation and API programming, aggregation and the collections framework, inheritance and polymorphism, all from the client's perspective.
+This course provides a description of how computers work by following
+the  abstraction  trail  from  the  high
+level  programming  layer  down  to  the
+digital logic  component  layer.  By  understanding  how  the  features  of
+each  abstraction  layer  are  implemented  in  the  one  beneath  it,  one  can
+grasp the tapestry of the software/hardware interface.
+Topics    include    programming    in    assembly    language,    machine
+instructions  and  their  encoding  formats,  translating  and  loading  high
+level  programs,  computer  organization  and  performance  issues,  CPU
+structure,   single/multi cycle   datapath   and   control,   pipelining,   and
+memory hierarchy. The course presents theoretical concepts as well as
+concrete implementations on
+a modern RISC processor.
+===== Learning Outcomes  =====
+  - Translate  high level  code  to  assembly  language  and  machine code
+  - Represent  data  in  machine  readable  form  and  describe  how  it  is stored and manipulated in a CPU
+  - Synthesize hardware of increasing complexity from logic gates to a simple CPU using a Hardware Description Language.
+  - Evaluate  computer  performance  and  compare  performance  on different architectures and designs.
+  - Describe and critique I/O and Parallel Hardware.
