Students will be able to analyze circuits involving resistive and reactive components. Computers are relentlessly logical. Students need to develop clear and precise thinking patterns to successfully analyze and develop systems based on computers. Patterns of analytical thinking and logical analysis need to be well developed in students aspiring to this field. As in all Engineering Technology fields these students will be proficient problem solvers.
Creativity is equally essential in problem solving and system development.
Students will visualize complete systems, develop structures to implement that visualization and execute the detailed creation of those systems. Analysis and description of broader consequences and implications of creative visualizations. Development and demonstration of working systems. Problem analysis and error correction in hardware and software environments. The ability to integrate people with disparate systems including computers, communications, and other technologies.
