Suggested Practicals/ Exercises
Practical Outcomes (PrOs)
- The practicals in this section are PrOs (i e . sub-components of the COs) to be developed and assessed in the student for the attainment of the competency
- Identify desktop and server by its type and verify its specifications
- Identify type of laptop and verify its Specification
-
- Identify hardware components on motherboard
- Troubleshoot common problems of motherboard
- Configure BIOS settings
- Partition and manage hard disk: format hard drives with different file systems. (Part-I)
- Partition and manage hard disk, format hard drives with different file systems. (Part-II)
- Install Operating System – Windows family (such as Windows 7/ Windows 10,Windows server 12)
- Install Operating System -Unix family (such as Linux/UBUNTU connectors
- Troubleshoot Hard disk problems.
-

- Assemble and Disassemble Desktop System (Part-I)
- Troubleshoot computer system by diagnosing the problem
- Use diagnostic software for fault finding and viruses
- Undertake Preventive Maintenance of PC using vacuum cleaner and simple tools
Note
- A suggestive list of PrOs is given in the above table. More such PrOs can be added to attain the COs and competency. All the above listed practical need to be performed compulsorily, so that the student reaches the Applying Level’ of Bloomss Cognitive Domain Taxonomy as generally required by the industry
- The ‘Process’ and Product’ related skills associated with each PrO are to be assessed according to a suggested sample given below:
The above PrOs also comprise of the following social skills/attitudes which are Affective Domain Outcomes (ADOs) that are best developed through the laboratory/field based experiences:
- Follow safety practices
- Practice good housekeeping
- Demonstrate working as a leader/a team member
- Follow ethical practices
- The ADOs are not specific to’any one PrO, but are embedded in many PrOs Hence, the acquisition of the ADOs takes place gradually in the student when s/he undertakes a series of practical experiences over a period of time. Moreover, the level of achievement of the ADOs according to Krathwohl’s Affective Domain Taxonomy’ should gradually increase as planned below:
- Valuing Level’ in Ist year
- Organising Level in 2nd year
- Characterising Level in 3rd year.
Major Equipment/ Instruments Required
The major equipment with broad specification mentioned here will usher in uniformity in conduct of experiments, as well as aid to procure equipment by authorities concerned.
Equipment Name with Broad Specifications
