This outline is an excellent start for an instructor to begin planning his/her time for the Computer Service and Repair Course based on the use of the Computer Service and Repair Textbook by Richard M. Roberts. The course is designed in such a way as to be appropriate for both college level term-by-term courses or a high school level program designed for a year-long offering. The course and associated Lab Manual can make for a highly movtivating course which is packed full of "hands-on" learning experiences.

It is important that you have the resources to make your lab functional and easy to maintain. The software listed in this article has proven helpful to me and many others who use it. Happy Hunting.

This activities includes a sample motherboard, a sample test/quiz idea that can be used on manyu different computer parts, and a good resource for instructional materials.

This instructional aid that allows the student to gain valuable practice on multiple boot systems, while allowing the instructor to maximize the amount of equipment available.
