A. Introduction 1 day Presentation
Computer systems are made of several parts, and these parts comprise electronic
components. Electronic elements are susceptible to damage if not properly taken care of. That
is why they should be tested for their functionality. In this lesson, you will understand and find
out different criteria for testing electronic components.

A. Using the concept map, give your ideas on the qualities of a good technician in
testing electronic components of a computer. Write your answer in separate
sheet of paper.

B. List at least three (3) criteria/standard of a good technician in testing component

of a computer. Write your answer in separate sheet of paper.

B. Development 1 day Electronic Components are essential elements of a circuit that help in its functioning. These
elements are found in the tangible aspect of the computer system, which is commonly known as
the computer hardware. Most of these elements are found mainly inside the box of the system
unit.
The two basic types of electronic components which are essential to recognize before going
to the testing procedure are:
ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

Active Components Passive Components

Active Components. Active devices supply energy to the circuit. (Transistor, Batteries,
Cathode Ray Tube)
Passive Components These are the components that obstruct the current or supplied energy.
(Resistor, Inductor, Capacitor)

Criteria for Testing Electronic Components

Functionality - This verifies that the hardware or software product exactly functions as designed.
Compatibility - This makes sure that the product functions in its targeted use environment.
Performance - This validates that the product functions acceptably for the market where it is
being released.
Usability - This provides an independent analysis of how easy or difficult a product can be used.
Automation - Allows repetitive testing quickly and easily by scripting the product with one of
the many different industry tools.
Competitive Analysis - Compares products to similar products already in the marketplace.

Criteria for Testing Electronic Components Based on Skills of Computer Hardware

/ Network Technician
Interacting with computers. Using a computer or computing system for a computer hardware,
field technician means speaking the machine’s language. Collecting data and
information. Being a computer hardware field technician is not unlike being a private eye.
Problem-solving and decision-making. Problem-solving is vital to being a computer hardware
field technician.
Communicating. Communication is a key skill in almost any job.
Consulting and advising others. A computer hardware field technician often ends up advising
others on a variety of tasks.
Inspecting equipment, structures, or material. A computer hardware field technician must
ensure that the equipment is operating properly within its environment.
Documenting and recording information. There are baseline metrics that computer hardware
field technicians must keep track of to diagnose a healthy network or computer system
properly.
Developing objectives and strategies. To create a smooth working network. Training and
teaching others. There are two main tiers of training for a computer hardware field technician.

Learning Task 1: USE IT!

Directions: Complete the following words by supplying the missing letters. Then, identify each
element as active or passive component. Put a check (/) if you encounter this element. Write
your answer on a separate sheet of paper.

Learning Task 2: CROSSWORD

Directions: Find the words that are connected in the testing electronics component in the given
crossword puzzle. The list of the words is in the box. Write the answer in the separate sheet of
paper.

C. Engagement 1 ½ days Product testing matters because it ensures that a product is designed and manufactured with
quality. As a technician, you must know the criteria and you must be knowledgeable in testing
electronic components.

Learning Task 3: IDENTIFY

Direction. Choose alternative word/words for the following criteria of testing electronic
components. Select your answer inside the box and write it on a separate sheet of paper.
