Computer Structure and Logic Lab Manual is a supplementary book for anyone using the Computer Structure and Logic textbook. This book provides you with a series of hands-on exercises and critical-thinking activities that teach you the skills needed to build modern networks. The activities outlined in this book enable you to put your knowledge to work by practicing foundational networking skills, commands, standards, and technologies in a real-world environment.
Computer Structure and Logic Lab Manual organizes its material into 13 units that cover the full range of topics taught in the Computer Structure and Logic course. Each unit is organized into labs that explore specific skills discussed in the textbook. Labs are divided into exercises that each explore specific subtopics, and each lab concludes with a summary of the topics covered. Each lab also contains a thorough introduction of key topics covered, as well as material requirements, suggested completion times, and detailed steps to complete each lab. The book also provides you with a convenient place to record the questions that you are asked to answer and the data you are asked to record in each lab.
Together with the Computer Structure and Logic textbook, this lab manual provides a complete solution for both conceptual learning and hands-on skills development.
