Computer Engineering Technology-
Industrial Computing Applications Specialist Major
Associate of Applied Science
The Computer Engineering Technology - Industrial Computing Applications Specialist major provides graduates with the skills necessary to design and implement software and hardware interfaces and networking of equipment with computers, computing devices and communication systems for a variety of industrial sectors including health care, law enforcement, manufacturing, logistics/transportation and other sectors. Graduates will be proficient in the design, application, installation, operations, and maintenance of computer, networks, and other digital devices and associated equipment. Along with a general electronics background, students are given comprehensive information and training in installation, networking and interfacing of industry-specific equipment for the purpose of optimizing communication. Through proper selection of the two industry-specific directed study and capstone courses, students will specialize in the equipment found in their chosen specific industry sector, providing them the experience necessary to enter the job market with confidence. This program articulates to Akron University toward a three-plus-one Bachelor's degree in Industrial Computing Applications Specialist. The Associate and Bachelor degree combination can be completed in three-years. Graduates may easily specialize in multiple industry sectors by taking only two sector-specific courses anytime during their career.
