Q&A: If I wanted to go to college to learn how to repair a computer, what course [specific major] should be taken?
Question by εїз Cяystâiℓℓee εїз: If I wanted to go to college to learn how to repair a computer, what course [specific major] should be taken?
There are just so many computer courses to choose from, I’m utterly confused. Basically, I’d like to learn how to repair a computer, specifically how to repair the hard drive or the motherboard [the internal parts]. What would be the specific major to look for in a college?
Thank you!
There’s a software engineering course offered where I applied. Is that generally the same thing?

You should go to the college where you plan on attending and speak to a counselor. They can set you up with all you need to know. I think its just Computer Repair.

computer engineering?
Ok if you are looking to do specific things like fix the motherboards and stuff like that you might want to do something like electrical engineering type courses. If you want a more rounded computer experience you would want classes in the computer engineering field. and if you want to take classes to build your own chips to make your own boards you would look at classes that involve microelectronic engineering. Any of those would involve classes like system design or digital systems, things like that would get you going in the right direction. Specific majors electrical engineering, or computer engineering or micro electric engineering is what i can think of off the top of my head. Software engineering courses are not the same at all. They deal with programming computers where you are looking for building the boards that run computers i think
Computer repair is a vocational trade. It’s not taught at 4 year schools. Look into community colleges, they specialize in this type of thing.
Software engineering is completely different. You can complete a software engineering program and never know how to even open up a computer. Different focuses.
