Student Technician
- Assist in the collection, refurbishing, and recycling of Temple University technology assets
- Go out to all Temple University facilities in the Philadelphia area and collect all types of technology included but not limited too: computers, various audio equipment, hard-drives, monitors, and printers. After collection we go through all of the equipment we collect and conduct a triage of our own on the equipment to see what we can keep, refurbish, and resell to students/faculty. This triage includes removing all RAM and Hard-drives, wiping all data that could be collected, cleaning the computers, and eventually imaging them for resale to students/faculty.
- I have learned a-lot about what makes a computer run and why the hardware in a computer is very important. In addition to learning about the hardware, I also have grown in my ability to take apart different types of technology including but not limited to Computers, Printers, media equipment, and servers. I have also gained knowledge in how the University runs/upholds different type of technology on campus. This job has been very helpful in grooming my hands-on ability to take apart technology and understand why different parts of computers make the computer run.
