Contact(s): Jeff Swaringen
The Computer Engineering Technology curriculum provides the skills required to install, service, and maintain computers, peripherals, wired and wireless networks, and microprocessor and computer-controlled equipment. It includes training in both hardware and software with emphasis on operating systems concepts, data security, and data recovery.
Coursework includes mathematics, physics, electronics, digital circuits, and programming with an emphasis on the operation, use, and interfacing of memory and devices to the CPU. Additional topics may include communications, networks, operating systems, programming languages, Internet configuration and design, and industrial applications.
Graduates should qualify for employment opportunities in electronics technology, computer service, computer networks, server maintenance, programming, and other areas requiring knowledge of electronic and computer systems. Graduates may also qualify for certification in electronics, computers, or networks.
