The aim of this project is the development of a standardized course on          hardware/software interfaces appropriate for students in a computer             science curriculum.  This would be an upper division class requiring            courses in digital logic, machine organization and computer                     architecture and affecting 500 students over the next five years at the         University of Texas.  With the aid of the Department of Electrical and          Computer Engineering, the Department of Computer Sciences has                   identified an appropriate curriculum, a set of laboratory exercises and         laboratory equipment for the class.                                                                                                                             The basic unit in such a laboratory is a large, hard disk based                 microcomputer built around a modern chip and bus structure and having           an open system architecture..  Ten Macintosh IIs will be used for this          purpose.  Other items are an oscilloscope and multimeter for each               station, appropriate software, a logic analyses, prom burner, and               printing capabilities.                                                                                                                                          This project is significant because it represents a cooperative effort          between Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.  The practical             goal is to structure a course which can be supported by faculty and             technical staff of a typical computer science department.  The                  pedagogical goal is to teach concepts and uses of mixed                         hardware/software systems while maintaining a computer science                  perspective on software development and systems organization.  A joint          committee from electrical engineering and computer science will                 evaluate and guide the development of the class.  This process should           guarantee that the course will be valuable as a model to other computer         science departments.
