- If you do not place into MTH 127 Basic Calculus or MTH 113 College Algebra with Trig the prerequisite is MTH 100 Intro. to College Mathematics. Math Placement is determined by the Mathematics Department. These courses should be taken in high school or the summer before your first semester.
Notes:
- For an explanation of why General Education courses are included in this Program, please refer to the Section on General Education for an explanation of its Purpose and Requirements.
- This plan assumes the student is eligible to enroll in College Level Courses (designated as 100 +, e.g., ENG 101 College Composition I, HST 101 World Civilization I, MTH 100 Intro. to College Mathematics). Placement results will determine College Level Readiness in English and Mathematics.
Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:
- Design applications in object-oriented language using various dynamic and static data structures;
- Design digital circuity;
- Utilize multitasking, preemptive scheduling, time sharing operating system concepts and associated communications, networking, and security issues;
- Design and implement relational database with supporting applications;
- Demonstrate multi-user database processing in LANs in client-server systems;
- Demonstrate object-oriented design techniques using encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, and reusability;
- Use software applications like spreadsheets, word processing, and basic programming; and
- Apply ethical reasoning in the technology environment.
