Computer Hardware and Network Workshop Syllabus

Workshop Objectives

• The primary objective of the Workshop on Computer Hardware and Network is to equip participants with hands-on experience and skills in computer hardware and networking.

Computer Hardware and Software

• The 'Introduction of Hardware and Software/components of computer' section covers the basics of computer hardware and software components.
• The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is responsible for executing instructions and performing calculations in a computer system.
• Input devices, such as keyboard, mouse, and scanner, are part of the computer hardware category.
• System software allows the hardware to run properly by representing programs and sets of instructions.
• Storage devices, such as hard drives and RAM, are responsible for storing data in a computer system.

Computer Hardware Categories

• Output devices, such as monitor, printer, and speaker, are part of the computer hardware category.
• The motherboard acts as the main circuit board of the computer.

Computer Software

• Application software directly interacts with the end user and enables specific tasks to be performed.

CPU and Memory

• The RAM (Random Access Memory) is responsible for temporarily holding data and instructions while they are being processed by the CPU.

Safe Handling of Equipment

• The purpose of handling and holding sensitive equipment in the workshop is to ensure safe and proper handling of computer hardware components.

Networking Basics

• The activity of creating cross wires and direct cables is part of the Networking Basics section of the workshop.

BIOS Configurations

• The main focus of the section 'Setting BIOS configurations' is to configure the basic input/output system of a computer.

Important Components

• The power supply unit, which is made up of complex electronic circuits, is not important for a user to know the details of the circuitry.
• Software is not a part of the computer hardware.
