CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
A Computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out an arbitrary set of arithmetic or logical operations automatically, their ability to follow a sequence operations, called a program. Make computer very flexible and popular. Such computer are used as control systems for a very wide variety of industrial and consumer devices. This include simple special purpose devices like microwave ovens and remote controls, but more importantly in general purpose devices like personal computers and mobile devices. The internet is run on computers and connects millions of these other computer.
Since ancient times, simple manual device like the abacus aided people in doing calculation. Early in the industrial Revolution, some mechanical devices were built to automate long tedious tasks, such as patterns for looms. More sophisticated electrical machines did specialized analog calculation in the early 20th century. The first digital electronic calculating machines were developed during the world war II. The speed, power and versatility of computers increased continuously and dramatically since then, to the point of possible artificial intelligence in the near future.
A computer laboratory is a space which provides computer services to a defined community. Computer labs are typically provided by libraries to the public, by academic institutions to students who attend the institution, or by other institutions to the public or to people affiliated with that institution, uses typically must follow a certain user policy to retain access to the computer. This generally consists of the user not engaging in illegal activities or attempting to circumvent any security or content-control software while using the computers. In public settings, compute lab users are often subject to time limits, in order to allow more people a chance to use the lab, whereas in other institutions, computer access typically requires valid personal login credentials, which may also allow the institution to track the users activities.
Computers in computer labs are typically equipped with internet access, while scanners and printers may augment the lab setup. Computers in computer labs are typically arranged either in rows, so that every workstation has a similar view of one end of the room to facilitate Lecturing or presentations, or in clusters, to facilitate small group work. In some cases generally in academic institution, students laptops carts take the place of dedicated computer labs, although computer labs still have a place in applications requiring special software or hardware not practically implantable in personal computers.
1.1 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
The aim of the project is to rehabilitate and furnish computer laboratory. The objectives include the following;
 To create effective, modern learning facilities providing infrastructure, renowned resources person, access for student and faculty members to electronic and library resources and current teaching and learning technologies.
 To create a cadre of leaders capable of advancing education, research and practice in the field of disability and rehabilitation and participating countries of the region.
