ITS 280 — Computer Repair and Maintenance
The primary purpose of this course is to prepare students to troubleshoot and repair microcomputer systems. This goal is achieved through a three-part effort: (1) theory presentation with regular assessment; (2) hands-on operation and exploration in lab experiments; and (3) troubleshooting applications in the lab. Hands-on training includes servicing microcomputers, identification, installation, and configuration of microprocessors, memory, system boards, power supplies, and floppy and disk drives. The emphasis of this course is both the hardware and operating systems for the CompTia A+ Essentials and IT Technician Certification tests.
