Computers and networks continue to expand in all aspects of our personal activities to business, manufacturing, education and health care. This program provides a balanced coverage of
technology fundamentals, computer hardware, computer software and networking technology.
Emphasis is placed on operating principles of hardware and software, networking models,
operating systems, internetworking components, and industry standards along with hands-on
laboratory activities for developing practical problem-solving skills. Students develop the
ability to configure and troubleshoot basic PCs, local area networks (LANs) and internetworks
using routers and switches. Integrated into the program are courses that prepare students to
sit for both the Cisco CCNA and the CompTIA A+. Depending on the track taken, students can
sit for either the Cisco CCNP or the MCITP.
Note: Because several courses are required in all Engineeering and Technology concentrations, students may transfer between concentrations fairly easily without losing much educational
time. Consult with a faculty adviser in selecting electives to determine transferability. Many
courses require prerequisites, corequisites and/or testing. See course descriptions at the back of
the catalog for details.
Transfer: A transfer agreement has been made with Johnson & Wales University. Please
visit www.ccri.edu/engt for more information.
