Computer Build 2017

In March and April, CMIS faculty members hosted three hands-on sessions where 28 students built 15 new lab computers. Students were able to upgrade half of the 2011 lab computers to Intel Core i5 processors with 16gb ram and solid state drives. This educational experience also helped students to understand the purpose and price of individual computer components. Many of these students never had the opportunity to see inside a computer housing.   Several remarked on how fun the experience was and how it was something they never expected to get the opportunity to try. Faculty and staff stopped by to watch the fun and in some cases, assist.
