Abstract
Bridgewater State University’s Architecture and Organization course includes the specified thirty-six hours of core content outlined in the ACM 2008 curricular guidelines; it also introduces programming in x86 assembler language. To cover all this material in a three-hour course, the authors developed Excel spreadsheets to perform mathematical operations in any base, implement truth tables, illustrate Kmaps, and implement a carry lookahead adder. A method illustrating subroutine linkage was developed. Digital circuits were color coded and presented in a series of successively more complete snapshots.
