Course description and aims

Modern information and communications technology is based on vast knowledge of information and communications engineering. In order to have a successful career as a researcher and/or in relevant businesses, it is not enough to just learn the basic concepts of each individual field but is essential to establish a holistic understanding of VLSI and computer systems. This course is designed to enable students to gain the aforementioned view by not only introducing the important ideas that serve as a basis of VLSI and computer systems but also by systematically connecting them with each other to enable a high-level understanding of the entire field.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) understand the important ideas that are included as the basis of VLSI and computer system field
2) understand the roles of information and communication system, and acquire a viewpoint from whole VLSI and computer system field.

Keywords
