Build your own

If it isn’t enough to know how to use a computer, there is a class

for the mechanically inclined. Computer Build, Upgrade and Repair is

a hands-on class where no previous experience is necessary.

The instructor is Art Nicholson. Before he started teaching,

Nicholson worked in the defense industry as a senior electronics

engineer with General Dynamics and Hughes Missile System Division.

Everyone in the class will be assigned a computer to build and

troubleshoot. Students will learn motherboard layout, memory

installation, disk-drive formatting and operating systems.

The class is offered twice this semester from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30

p.m. Oct. 5 and 6 and Dec. 7 and 8 at the training center. The fee is

$175. A certificate of completion is awarded to students who

successfully finish the course. Contact the Community Services

Education program for information.
