Abstract

Assembly language programming has been taught within the computer science curriculum as a separate course at most universities over the past several decades. Recent advances of the Internet has forced the introduction of several new courses in this arena leaving less time for traditional courses such as computer architecture and assembly language programming. We examine the changing role of assembly language in the present day computer science curriculum.
