Program Description
The Computer Engineering Technology Program prepares students for immediate employment as computer and network technicians. Students receive a general background in electronics, software, computer networks, and data communication in addition to specialized training in the assembly, configuration, diagnosis, and repair of personal computers. By proper choice of electives, mathematics, and science courses, A.A.S. graduates may transfer into the B.S. in Computer Engineering Technology program at Capitol Technology University. The certificate programs, with fewer credit requirements, lead into the A.A.S. program without loss of credit. Some students may wish to take courses within this program to prepare for industry certification from CompTIA and Cisco. For the CompTIA Network+ certification, take INT-1550 . For the CompTIA A+ certification, take INT-1540 and INT-2540 . For the CompTIA Security+ certification, take INT-1620 . For the Cisco CCENT certification, take INT-1450 and INT-1460 .
Graduates of the Computer Engineering Technology A.A.S. will be able to:
- Use operating systems such as Windows and Linux that are currently used on personal computers
- Use spreadsheets and web browsers to solve technical problems and present the solutions
- Solve technical problems by writing user-friendly, well-documented programs in a high-level programming language such as Visual Basic, C++, or LabVIEW
- Analyze and troubleshoot computer hardware and software by understanding system organization, data representation, memory management, and interrupts
- Upgrade and repair personal computers
- Design, build, and manage local area networks using basic telecommunications systems and protocols
- Design, build, and test basic analog and digital electronic circuits that can be used as part of a computer system or interface to a computer system
- Use critical thinking techniques and the student’s general technical body of knowledge to research a problem and provide a creative, well-documented solution for a computer- or network-related problem in which the student has no specific background
- Produce a comprehensive written report and oral presentation describing a research project
