Throughout your tenure as a University Assistant you can
expect to receive extensive training in the software and
hardware tools used at the university. Exact skills acquired
depend largely on the position and direct supervisor to
which the UA is employed.
For example, a University Assistant employed in a techical/support
position would be expected to have a general understanding
of hardware repair, installation, and configuration as well
as software diagnosis and usage. Throughout his/her tenure
as a University Assistant, he/she might also learn how to
remove and install various hardware periphereals, erase
and restore a hard drive, setup or troubleshoot a faculty
member's department printer, or even teach a class on a
familiar software suite to his/her fellow student workers.
