The goal of the computer engineering technology program is to prepare students for employment in areas defined by the rapidly expanding opportunities of computer applications. With new hardware and software products being introduced monthly, students who wish to succeed in this field should develop a background in both software and hardware. This program provides such a background by combining a grounding in basic theory with hands-on, application courses selected from the disciplines of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Technology. The curriculum emphasizes practical design and the utilization of systems and hardware. Areas of concentration include network design and management, modern communication systems, microcomputer systems and applications, and application program development. A grade of C or better must be earned in computer science required courses. Specific degree requirements can be found listed under the Department of Engineering Technology.
