Dear student,

I send you assignment  yesterday. Please bring your answer sheet on Monday.

Project Proposal

 

Title

                e-Tutor for computer hardware

 

Background and Justification

  The ICT literacy becomes an essential life skill today. Everyone, especially students have to equip this skill to survive in their future in the technological world. Government education system introduced different subjects to develop ICT skills. Students in grade 6-9 have PTS (practical technical skills) subject which covers basics of ICT, grade 10 and 11 students have ICT as a subject and the grade 12 students have GIT/Advance level ICT subjects. Successful delivery of these subjects is highly depending on three factors namely, qualified teachers, number of periods (theory and practical) and the computer lab resources. 

Currently most of the school students not get a good combination of these three factors.

This project is an interactive e-learning (e-Tutor for computer hardware) tool for students to allow self-study. The e-Tutor can minimize lack of qualified teachers by providing theoretical knowledge and the practical knowledge in an interactive way using audio visuals. This software is available any time once installed and distribute as an interactive CD for students. Software provides interactive activities/simulations for lab the practicals. A proper evaluation/examination method is also being a feature of this software.

In the first step e-Tutor  will mainly focuses on the “Computer hardware”

e-Tutor will be beneficial for the students to be skilled in ICT. 

 

 

 

Target group

                School Students who are not having enough resources ICT (teaching and Lab practicals).

 

 

Aims and Objectives

 

                The main objective of the project is to develop software based tutoring program school students to develop their ICT skills. The computer hardware section will be integrate during the first phase of this project.

               computer generation

Calculating aids – Pre mechanical era – before 1450 Abacus is considered as the first calculating device in the world used by Chinese around 5000 BC.

Mechanical era – 1450-1840

The Pascaline was introduced by Blaise Pascal in 1642. It could add and subtract two numbers.

The Stepped Reckoner invented by German scientist Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz completed in 1694. This device is carried out the operations add, subtract, multiply and divide too.

The difference engine, the first mechanical computer was developed by Charles Babbage in 1880.

He presented the concept of Input, Process and Output that is used in modern computers, for the first time. Therefore, he is considered as the “Father of the computer”.

Electro mechanical era – 1840 – 1940

Electronic valve (vacuum tube) invented by Forest in 1906.

32

The automatic sequence controller (Mark 1) was the first automatic computer invented by Professor Howard Aiken in 1939.

Electronic Era

1st Generation Computers (1940-1956) The computers of first generation used vacuum tubes as the basic component.

 ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator) was the first electronic digital computer designed by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert in 1946.

 EDSAC (Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator) was the first full size stored program computer developed by Maurice Wilkes in 1947. EDSAC was built according to the von Neumann machine principles.

 EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) is considered as the first digital computer that could store program was built in 1948.

 UNIVAC (Universal Automatic Computer) was an electrical computer containing thousands of vacuum tubes that utilized punch cards and switches to input data and punch cards to output and store data.

2nd Generation Computers (1956 – 1963)

In this generation, transistors were used as the fundamental building block.
IBM 1620, IBM 7094, CDC 1604, CDC 3600, UNIVAC 1108 were some computers developed in this generation.

3rd Generation Computers (1964 – 1975)

 The computers of third generation used Integrated Circuits (ICs) in place of transistors. A single IC contains many transistors, resistors, and capacitors along with the associated circuitry.

IBM-360 series, PDP (Personal Data Processor), TDC-316 were the computers of 3rd generation.

4th Generation (1975 – 1989)

 In this generation of computers VLSI (Very Large Scale Integrated) circuits were used. VLSI circuits having more transistors and other circuit elements with their associated circuits on a single chip made it possible to have microcomputers.

Eg: DEC 10, STAR 1000, PDP 11

5th Generation Computers (1989 – present)

  The ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration) technology is used in this generation resulting in the production of microprocessor chips having millions transistors and other electronic components.

Eg: Desktop, Laptop, Notebook, Ultrabook

Classification of Computers

1. Based on the Technology (i) Analog Computer - An analog computer is a form of computer that handles continuous values such as electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic quantities. (ii) Digital Computer - A computer that performs calculations and logical operations with quantities represented as digits, usually in the binary number system.

2. Based on the Purpose (i) Special purpose computer - Computers are designed to handle a specific problem or to perform a specific task. (ii) General purpose computer – These are designed to perform a range of tasks.

3. Based on Size

 (i) Super Computer - The fastest and most powerful type of computers Supercomputers are very expensive and are employed for specialized applications that require immense amounts of computing power. (Eg: TIANHE-1) 

(ii) Mainframe Computer - A very large and expensive computer capable of supporting hundreds, or even thousands, of users simultaneously.

(iii) Mini Computer – Mid size computers mainly used as small or mid-range servers operating business and scientific applications.

 (iv) Micro Computer – Desktop – A personal computer sufficient to fit on a desk Laptop – A portable computer Palmtop – A hand size computer

Notebook - A portable computer small and thinner than Laptop. Smart phone – This is a mobile phone used for mobile communication with an operating system and other advanced facilities. Tablet - A tablet is a wireless, portable personal computer with a touch screen interface. The tablet is typically smaller than a notebook computer, but larger than a smartphone. Phablet - A phablet is a small pocket sized mobile device that is a bit larger than the size of an average smartphone and smaller than tablet. (Eg: Apple 6Plus, Galaxy Note, etc)

ndividual Learning Projects

Individual Learning Projects

 An individual learning project (ILP) is a well-developed course of study planned and carried out by a student. It provides opportunity to pursue academic interests in several ways: tutorial studies, directed studies and individually studied courses. In undertaking an individual learning project, a student structures a college-level course and assumes responsibility for bringing it to fruition. A student plans a syllabus which identifies the goals, problems, methods, resources and evaluative criteria of the study. The faculty moderator gives initial approval of the project, is available for consultation and assumes responsibility for submitting a final evaluation. Unless a specific department specifies an earlier deadline, students must submit a detailed proposal for an individual learning project to the faculty moderator and department chair prior to the beginning of the semester. First-year students are not eligible for individual learning projects. No more than four ILP credits may be undertaken within a semester. Upper-division ILPs have as a prerequisite the completion of 12 credits of coursework within the department by the end of the ILP semester. Students should consult the registrar for application forms and more detailed guidelines.
