Computer Organization and Architecture CST 202 or COA course is designed to help learners with the ability to understand the basic structure of digital computers. It is introduced by KTU in 2019 It is essential to study computer systems and architecture to understand the hardware behind the code and its function at the physical level by interacting with computer memory and I/O systems. It helps people who are learning the basics of computer system design to expand the characteristics of a computer system to diagnose and solve problems in system configuration.
