Computer Maintenance and Networking

Computer maintenance and networking engineering technologists install, maintain and repair computer systems, networks and associated equipment. Along with a broad, general electronics background, students are given comprehensive information and training in computer system structure, peripheral device operation, installation procedures, and troubleshooting practices through this extensive, hands-on curriculum. Typical job titles include computer systems specialist, computer maintenance technician, field service representative, installation technician, field engineer, systems integrator and applications specialist.

Network communications technology engineers design, install, test, and manage local and wide area networks. Additional topics covered in the coursework include software installation, multimedia development fundamentals, and web page design. Varieties of elective courses are available to augment the program.

The Computer Maintenance and Networking (CMNW) program in the Engineering Technologies division offers state-of-the-art instruction and practical hands-on experience in computer science, computer systems, networking technologies and A+ certification.
