551 Pc Repair, Troubleshooting, Assemblage----1 Credit

The PC Repair, Troubleshooting and Assemblage course is a yearlong course designed as an elective for seniors. This course uses a simulated lab as the learning environment. Students are involved in a robust, hands-on learning experience that combines animated demonstration with open simulations to give them a chance to practice complex tasks in a safe, simulated environment. Course materials integrate multimedia technologies, simulation technologies, instruction animations and technical graphic images into a sophisticated learning environment. The course covers the A+ Certification requirements for hardware, operating systems and networking. Students are offered the opportunity to build their own computer. Students who decide not to build a PC will be required to do a project that demonstrates their knowledge of PC Repair and components. Class size is limited to ten students due to safety concerns and size restrictions of the classroom. Students must have passed the Intro to Computer Applications course.
