Computer Engineering Technology Major

Computer Engineering Technology (CET) mission is to prepare students to use basic and advanced knowledge of computer information systems and engineering principles.

CET prepares students for technical skills related to hardware and software installation, configuration of networks and devices, computer maintenance, peripherals, and microprocessor and computer-controlled equipment.

The degree includes instruction in networking, cybersecurity, ethical hacking, Internet of Things (IoT), cybersecurity risk, mathematics, computer electronics, computer programming, system installations, testing, solid state, circuitry, peripheral equipment, and report preparation.

A successful graduate should qualify for employment opportunities in Computer Information fields, electronics technology, computer services, computer networks, server maintenance, cybersecurity analyst, programming and other areas requiring knowledge of electronic and computer systems. Graduates may also qualify to pursue professional certifications.
