The computer engineering technology program will provide you with the cutting-edge industry knowledge and hands-on skills necessary to secure a career as an applied engineer capable of installing, designing, supporting, and maintaining computer systems and networks. This is an active, technically oriented program with a focus on computer system hardware and network infrastructure, as well as software development and operating systems. We’ve designed these degrees to prepare you for professional examinations leading to certifications such as the CompTIA A+ and Network+, Microsoft Certified System Administrator (MCSA), Microsoft Certified System Engineer (MCSE), and Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA).

Advantages

• The BS programs is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission(s) of ABET,  http://www.abet.org. under the General Criteria and the Computer Engineering Technology and Similarly Named Program Criteria.
• In the first year of the program, students gain a foundation of knowledge in digital and electronic circuits followed by the development of skills in computer hardware, operating systems, and networking.

1.  An ability to select and apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of the discipline to broadly defined engineering technology activities.
2. An ability to select and apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to engineering technology problems that require the application of principles and applied procedures or methodologies.
3. An ability to conduct standard tests and measurements; to conduct, analyze, and interpret experiments; and to apply experimental results to improve processes.
4. An ability to design systems, components, or processes for broadly defined engineering technology problems appropriate to program educational objectives.
5. An ability to function effectively as a member or leader on a technical team.
6. An ability to identify, analyze, and solve broadly defined engineering technology problems.
