Abstract
This paper reports the author's progress toward developing a microcomputer laboratory suitable for teaching some of the basic concepts of computer science. The rationale for this approach is presented, followed by a description of the hardware and software environment thus far developed. Finally we present two course outlines: one for an undergraduate laboratory course in computer systems and another for a graduate course in microcomputer systems design for engineers.

Using graphics research to teach freshman computer science
SIGGRAPH '06: ACM SIGGRAPH 2006 Educators programAlthough research is often a daunting task for undergraduates, early exposure to research topics and papers can be an effective means of stimulating interest and teaching students about realworld solutions to non-trivial problems. To that end, we have ...
A computer science microcomputer laboratory
SIGCSE '79: Proceedings of the tenth SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science educationThis paper discusses the objectives of a microcomputer laboratory established to support the Computer Science programmes at McMaster University. Three objectives are identified:
1. To serve as the means of reinforcing the understanding of fundamental ...
