Use of multidisciplinarity in undergraduate computer engineering in the courses of the digital area

An ongoing trend in teaching is to employ multidisciplinarity to help students understand concepts involved in more than one subject, contextualizing the knowledge and avoiding its segmentation. In this way, the students enrolled in digital systems, in undergraduate computer engineering, have as a project activity, the elaboration of a didactic microprogrammed CPU, which, besides tackling concepts related to digital systems, allows the student to learn about microprocessors, making available an environment of discovery and exploration contributing to a better perception of the possibilities of the area.
