COMPUTER SUPPORT ENGINEERING TECHONOLOGY

Associate in Applied Science (CSE.AAS) / Certificate of Achievement

In the last decade, computers have become an integral part of everyday life, and used for a variety of purposes at home, in the workplace, and at schools. The continued growth and use of computers has created a high demand for computer hardware and software specialists that provide advice to users, as well as the day-to-day administration, maintenance, and support of computer systems.

This Associate in Applied Science Degree program is designed to provide the student with learning experiences that will develop skills required to install, diagnose problems and repair microprocessor control devices at the PC desktop, the Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) system levels.

In addition, the program is designed to provide students with the fundamental knowledge to sit for external certifications which include but are not limited to the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) and the CompTIA A+ certification exams.
