Institution:

Finger Lakes Community College

Subject:

Description:

This course is designed to provide the student with the skills and knowledge required for entry level PC technicians, IT professionals, or computer science majors seeking a comprehensive introduction to computer hardware and software. This course will provide the student with the fundamental knowledge required to build, install, configure, upgrade, manage, troubleshoot, and repair personal computers. Today's computing systems include not only the stand-alone computer with a system unit, monitor, keyboard, mouse and printer, but have evolved into sophisticated systems that are networked with other systems while serving as a base for the addition of many other digital devices available on the market currently. These computer systems require the student to not only understand the hardware components and how they interact with one another, but also to understand how the software in the form of an operating system interacts with the hardware to create a sophisticated computing system. This knowledge will enable the student to effectively diagnose, configure, and maintain computer systems. While the objectives of A+ Hardware and OS Technologies will map closely to CompTIA's A+ Certification objectives, the primary focus is to provide the computer student with the basic working knowledge of a computer system, defined by the hardware components and the software that interacts with this hardware to create a computer system : CSC 115 with a grade of C or better, or permission of the instructor.
