COMPUTER HARDWARE AND NETWORKING 4 64

Rationale Now a days computers have become an inevitable part of our life. Ability to work on computer has become an essential life skill. Focus of industries has been shifted mostly from production base to service oriented. Hence industries need persons suitable for service sector. Therefore there is a growing need of engineers / technicians in this field. Hence, it is necessary to study computer hardware, peripheral devices, network equipment, assembly, installation and troubleshooting the computer system. This subject covers personal computer assembly, installation, troubleshooting, servicing and maintenance. It also covers basics of networking. After completing this subject the student can carry out assembly, installation, testing and troubleshooting of personal computers. He can work as service engineer or get self employed.
