The personal computer has become an indispensable tool in the practice of engineering. Many engineers now rely on their computer more than their calculator, more than their phone – in fact, more than any other instrument.
If you rely on a personal computer or laptop to send emails, write reports, and perform calculations, then you have likely experienced at some point the frustration of a slow computer. There are a variety of reasons for computer performance problems, ranging from insufficient memory to viruses and adware.
In this course, you’ll learn about the basic components of a personal computer that allow you to perform tasks that are useful to your professional practice, including hardware, software, drivers and computer memory. You’ll also learn about malware and causes of poor PC performance.
