HOW TO USE THIS COMPETENCY BASED LEARNING

MATERIAL

Welcome to the module in “Installing and Configuring Computer

Systems”. This module holds training materials and undertakings for you
to complete.
This unit, "Install and Configure Computer Systems", covers the
outcomes required in assembling electronic products. It is consist of
competencies to prepare to assemble electronic products, prepare/make
PCB modules, mount and solder electronic components, assemble electronic
products, test and inspect assembled electronic products and to develop
knowledge, skills, abilities and attitude required with the industry standard.
You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order
to complete each learning content. Information Sheets consist of learning
contents that you need to learn. Each Information Sheet has a learning
objective that you need to attain while reading the Information Sheet. After
each Information Sheet is a Self-Check that will help you test yourself if you
have attained the learning objectives. Compare your answer to the
corresponding Answer Key. You must answer all the questions correctly
before proceeding to the next activity
Assignment, Operation, Task and Job Sheets are activity sheets
that will help you practice the skills previously discussed in the Information
Sheets or demonstrated by your trainer. A Performance Criteria Checklist
