Specialization II:  Computer Technology

   An associate of applied science degree in computer technology prepares you to continue into an advanced program of study or obtain entry-level positions in a variety of today’s computer-related jobs such as:

  • Computer Technician: Installs, repairs and maintains various types of computers and their related equipment.
  • Industrial Electronic Automation Technician: Installs, repairs and maintains various types of electronic automation and control equipment in large industrial sites.
  • Field and Customer Service Technician: Installs and maintains various types of electronic computer equipment at customer site.
  • Computer Engineering Assistant: Assists engineers in the design, construction and testing of computer equipment and automatic controlled equipment.
  • Technical Equipment Sales: Sells computer systems and components based on specific customer requirements.
