Computer Engineering Technology Programs
Computer Engineering Technology/Associate of Applied Science Degree (A.A.S.)
This program prepares students for immediate employment as computer and network technicians. Students receive a general background in electronics, software, computer networks and data communication in addition to specialized training in the assembly, configuration, diagnosis and repair of IBM-compatible personal computers. By proper choice of electives, mathematics and science courses, A.A.S. graduates may transfer into the B.S. in Computer Engineering Technology program at Capitol College. The certificate program, with fewer credit requirements, leads into the A.A.S. program without loss of credit. Some students may wish to take courses within this program for industry certification, such as the A+, Network+ and CCNA. For the CompTIA A+ Certification, take ENT 184, ENT 284, and CIS 170. For the CompTIA Network+ Certification, take ENT 189. For Cisco’s CCNA Certification, take ENT 194-197. For more information about the Computer Engineering Technology Programs, call 301-322-0751.
