CLUSTER Engineering and Technical COURSE Systems Software WVEIS CODE 1707 Course Description: This course introduces the student to the knowledge base and technical skills related to operating systems and system utilities. Areas of study include operating system components, operating system operations, utilities, and data communications. Students will utilize problem-solving techniques and participate in laboratory activities to develop an understanding of course concepts, and teachers should provide each student with real world learning opportunities and instruction related to information technology. Safety instruction is integrated into all activities.
