Learning activities and teaching methods
Monological explanation (lecture, presentation,briefing), Working activities (workshops)
  • Class attendance - 56 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
Students will be informed about technical equipment of actual computers destined for work in the office and home.
The subject deals with computer technical equipment, especially personal ones. Students will be familiar with HW structure of actual PC with the emphasis on monitoring and optimization of component parameters and set properties as well. The problems of external user interfaces and exchange information possibilities will be also discussed.
