The Assembly Language for Beginners Workshop 2019
On the 20th of April 2019, IEEE Student Branch University Putra Malaysia (IEEESB UPM) held
an “Assembly Language for Beginners“ Workshop which had been participated by 18 students
from University Putra Malaysia (UPM) from different departments and faculties.Students from
different departments joined this workshop as it was open to all to gain extra knowledge
regarding assembly language. The workshop and tutorial provided was given by Prof. Madya Dr.
Wan Zuha b. Wan Hasan and lab session regarding application of the assembly language was
given by Mr. Divakaran a/l Santhosam.
The objective of “Assembly Language for Beginners“ Workshop was to encourage the
participants to explore more on machine language instructions, give a chance to learn low-level
programming language for microprocessors and other programmable devices without strict
monitoring. The impact of the program is to increase understanding about programming among
students in achieving a goal that has been set and build the students’ confidence in
programming.This workshop was also beneficial towards students as they can use the knowledge
they got in their final year projects.
The registration of participants started at 8.30am. The participants arrived at the
Microprocessor Laboratory (Block D2.1) at 8:30am.Breakfast was served for the participants
after registration. After registration, the participants were given an introduction session. After
that, the workshop started. The participants learned basic assembly language and were able to
use the theory of the assembly language to create complete program.Around 12:00pm,certificates
were distributed to the students.
In conclusion, the program ran smoothly, and the participants were able to apply the
knowledge received for future project or future use and can face real world problems that would
require them to use assembly language to solve.
