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.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Integrate computer hardware and operating systems to create a functional computer.
- Install and configure a printer on a computer.
- Identify the Basic Methodology of the steps in troubleshooting a network.
