Computer Engineering Technology Program Description Pathway Description: These curriculums are designed to prepare students through the study and application of principles from mathematics, natural sciences, and technology and applied processes based on these subjects. Course work includes mathematics, natural sciences, engineering sciences and technology. Graduates should qualify to obtain occupations such as technical service providers, materials and technologies testing services, process improvement technicians, engineering technicians, construction technicians and managers, industrial and technology managers, or research technicians. Computer Engineering Technology: A course of study that prepares the students to use basic engineering principles and technical skills for installing, servicing, and maintaining computers, peripherals, networks, and microprocessor and computer controlled equipment. This study includes instruction in mathematics, computer electronics and programming, prototype development and testing, systems installation and testing, solid state and microminiature circuitry, peripheral equipment, and report preparation. 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. Because the use of computers is integral to this curriculum, some courses are delivered in a hybrid format. Unique Aspects of the Computer Engineering Technology Program Diversity The CET curriculum provides a variety of related yet different skill sets. While major course focus is in-depth computer knowledge, several electronics courses provide a pathway into electrical troubleshooting and design featuring an array of microprocessors and microcontrollers. Students can choose from a wide array of technical elective classes to learn new or build on existing skills. Additional skills include computer programming, networking, information security and computer forensics. Co-op Work Experience Our co-op program provides second-year students with real world skills that prospective employers are seeking. Every effort is made to place the student in a co-op work experience that is tailored to their skills, needs and preferences. Even though it is not guaranteed nor expected, many co-ops lead to permanent employment.
