Program Overview

Computer Engineering Technology
Associate in Applied Science Degree (A40160)

The Computer Engineering Technology curriculum provides the skills required to install, service, and maintain computers, peripherals, networks, and microprocessor and computer controlled equipment. It includes training in both hardware and software, emphasizing operating systems concepts to provide a unified view of computer systems.

Course work includes mathematics, physics, electronics, digital circuits, and programming,
with 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.

Career Outline

Graduates should qualify for employment opportunities in electronics technology, computer
service, computer networks, server maintenance, programming and other areas requiring a
knowledge of electronic and computer systems. Graduates may also qualify for certification
in electronics, computers, or networks.

Program Education Objectives

Provide students with the latest  mathematical, scientific, and technological skills required to assess needs, evaluate problems, design/interpret solutions, and operate engineered systems.

Provide students with social science and management skills required to effectively work in teams, communicate their solutions, and understand the social, economic, ethical, and environmental impacts of their work.

Prepare students for successful participation in their profession and in continuing their education, in each case instilling an understanding of and desire for life-long learning
