COMPUTER REPAIR AND NETWORKING

The Computer Repair and Networking Technician is responsible for the installation, setup, troubleshooting and repair of microcomputer systems, common peripherals, and network systems in a field environment and possibly serves in a support role for microcomputer end-users. Repair seldom requires work at the component level or soldering, but relies heavily on logical and systematic troubleshooting skills and skill in working with the public and co-workers.

Instruction in this program will include information on safety, employment opportunities, terminology, materials, supplies, and the nature and use of tools and equipment, including information on regulations and installation codes related to microcomputer systems and peripherals, specific instruction on the theory, operation and troubleshooting of microprocessors, bus systems, digital integrated circuits, microcomputer hardware, operating systems, common user applications, network systems, and various common peripherals. Instruction will also include the use of specialized diagnostic software and equipment, system documentation and schematics.

Instruction will focus on system assembly, troubleshooting to the module level, application installation, network software installation and administration, cabling and network architecture, as well as developing resourcefulness and critical thinking skills adequate to work effectively with little or no direct supervision.

Fifty percent or more time is devoted to hands-on experience.

Employment opportunities exist with agencies and firms using or specializing in the sales and repair of office equipment and consumer products, or the telecommunications industry.
