The curriculum for the Associate of Engineering in Information Engineering Technology (AEng IET) is designed for those engineering students who intend to launch a career in the design, installation, maintenance, and repair of computer networks used for critical data entry, transfer, retrieval, and management. Coursework in the program is practice-oriented and prepares students to work in a variety of computer-intensive environments, such as technical organizations, small or large businesses, product design or manufacturing companies, and data-directed services.
The breadth of training in hardware, software, troubleshooting equipment, and other computer tools will enable the graduate to work in a variety of roles in such environments as network designer, network support and administrator, project manager, data applications or computer communications engineer, test and integration manager or technologist in business applications. The graduate of this curriculum will be a computer network specialist, but broadly versed in mathematics, physics, computer science, and business fundamentals. Failure to maintain an overall GPA of at least a 2.0 in all coursework is sufficient cause for being dropped from the program.
The program educational objectives are the following:
- Graduates will be situated in growing careers involving design, development, and support of Information Technology Systems
- Graduates will have accumulated technical expertise to remain globally competitive.
Completion of this program should result in the following student outcomes:
- An ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
- An ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes
