Computers have become an essential tool. This fact is even more clear while studying the "Bachelor of Engineering in Telecommunications Technology" (Grado en Ingeniería de Tecnologías de Telecomunicación), where computers are not only manipulated from a user's --or specialized user's-- point of view, but also from the engineering perspective, as tools to be designed or to be integrated in more complex systems.
Hence, the main motivation for the "Computer Architecture" (Arquitectura de Ordenadores) course is to provide students with an understanding of basic computer operation by studying the lower abstraction levels (over the electronic level).
The subject "Computer Architecture" (Arquitectura de Ordenadores) is focused on the conventional machine level, describes the operating machine level and shows an example application for the Symbolic Machine domain through the introduction of the Database Management Systems.
