Program Design
The Computer Engineering Technology associate degree program provides students with a broad background in the underlying disciplines of computer engineering and computer electronics technology including: the fundamentals of computer electronics, including basic AC/DC linear circuit analysis, analog and digital electronics, and microprocessor electronics to enable students to perform component and board level computer electronics analysis and troubleshooting; broad experience in problem solving with computers; the basics of computer organization and architecture; and an understanding of basic computer networking concepts and technologies including the fundamentals of network design, installation and maintenance.
Students will also acquire a comprehensive educational background in mathematics, physics and general education, designed to develop and enhance their critical thinking, problem analysis and resolution skills.
The Computer Engineering Technology A.S. degree program can serve as either a terminal degree which prepares students for computer-based industry positions and further industry-based training or as a transfer degree to baccalaureate institutions with degree programs in computer engineering technology. Students planning to transfer to baccalaureate institutions should consult with an advisor regarding the requirements of these institutions and transferability of courses.
Curriculum
Students may enroll in this program full- or part-time. Courses are offered during daytime or evening hours. For students who don’t meet the math prerequisite requirements for either the math or computer programming/networking courses in the program, MCC offers a wide range of preparatory courses.
When planning their schedule, students should note that some courses are offered only once a year, in either the Fall or Spring semester, but not both.
- EET*132 Electronics Occasionally (Spring) - please see an advisor
- EET*252 Digital Electronics Fall Only
- CSC*287 Organization & Architecture Fall Only
- CSC*286 Micro Assembly Language Spring Only
Students should consult with an engineering/computer technology faculty advisor to plan their program and schedule of classes, and to discuss required course prerequisites.
