Computer Hardware And Basic Networking

Computer Hardware and Basic Networking is a foundational course that introduces learners to the core components of computers and the essential concepts of networking. This course helps students understand how a computer system works internally and how different devices communicate with each other over a network. Learners begin by exploring computer hardware such as the CPU, motherboard, RAM, storage devices, power supply, and peripheral devices. The course then moves to basic networking concepts, including types of networks, network topologies, IP addressing, and data transmission methods. Students will learn about networking devices such as routers, switches, modems, hubs, and access points, and understand their roles in connecting systems. The course also covers basic troubleshooting techniques, safety practices, and system maintenance. Practical knowledge is gained through hands-on activities, real-world examples, and simple lab exercises. By the end of the course, students will have a strong understanding of computer systems and networking, preparing them for further studies and entry-level IT roles.
