Computer Technology is one of the eight major options offered by the Department of Engineering Technology. It is an interdisciplinary program which combines courses mainly in Engineering Technology, Computer Science and Management. The program also provides a background in mathematics and science which is sufficient to allow students to go on to graduate school. It is designed as a continuation of an associate's degree program in computer science, computer programming, computer networking, or computer software. This program prepares the student for careers as a computer application programmer, database administrator, computer system manager, computer network manager, software specialist, Management Information Systems (MIS) manager, customer support engineer, computer sales representative or educator and trainer in the field of computer applications.

Prerequisites:
Students who transfer to the junior year of the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology program, specializing in Computer Technology, are expected to have completed their freshman and sophomore years at a community college or similar institution and received their associate's degree in a program of computer studies (i.e. computer science, computer technology, computer software, computer programming, computer networking, etc). Students who have an equivalent associate's degree in science, or in various fields of engineering, are also eligible.

In order to be admitted, they should have successfully completed most of the following courses or their equivalent in their first two years of study, with approximately 64 semester credit hours:

General Requirements:

Calculus I/ Unified Calculus/ Calculus for Business 3/4 credits
Science such as biology, botany, chemistry, geology, physics  4 credits
Humanities/ Social Science/ Psychology/ Political Science  3 credits
Communications/ English Composition  6 credits
Accounting/ Economics/ Business Physical Education  3 credits
Physical Education  2 credits


Computer Requirements: 26 credits including:

Introduction to Programming (C++) 3 credits
Data Structures /Advanced High Level Language Programming 3 credits
Computer Architecture/ Assembler/ Computer System Development 3 credits
Operating Systems (DOS, Windows, UNIX) 3 credits
