BIS-220: Fundamentals of Small Systems with Lab
In this course, students gain knowledge in using microcomputer hardware,
including that needed to configure small computer networks.  Microprocessor
memory, storage, input/output (I/O) and peripheral functions are addressed.
In addition, the course examines firmware and software components in an
integrated and complete computer system.  Students will explore, compare and
contrast modern desktop operating systems, such as the Windows family of
operating systems. Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) along with basic 
I/O systems software are also studied.  
Prerequisite: COMP-100 / 3-2-4
