COMPUTER SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY - A.A.S. DEGREE
|
Program of Study: | COMPUTER SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY |
| Degree: | A.A.S. DEGREE |
Description:
This program has been designed to give the student a fundamental understanding of the hardware and software components of a computer system. Classroom work includes analysis and design of electronic circuits, computer logic, architecture, and the fundamentals of computer programming, supplemented by extensive hands-on, practical training on networks. The student will receive training in electronic instrumentation, troubleshooting and debugging techniques, computer peripherals, computer and network fault diagnosis, and high-level and assembly language programming. In addition, students will have access to numerous microcomputers, networked systems, and multiuser systems for use in the computer hardware and software portions of the program.
