For the sake of brevity only the upper two years of this program are described here. As with the two year degree at VTC, this program explores what goes on under the hood of a computer system. Digital electronics and computer architecture are explored as well as topics in programming, networks, and system administration. This broad based approach is intended to give graduates the greatest number of options in their career.
Computer technology is a rapidly evolving field.
Topics that are hot today may be of no interest in 10 years. VTC's approach is to give students a good foundation in all aspects of computer technology so that they can adapt to changes in the field as they occur. In addition, because hardware, software, and systems topics often overlap in the real world, VTC's preparation will allow graduates to properly evaluate the entire computer system they are working with and understand how all the aspects of it interact. Recent graduates of VTC's two year degree should be able to enter the junior year of this program directly and require only two more years to obtain the bachelors degree. Similarly, recent graduates of any other acredited two year computer engineering technology program should also be able to enter the junior year directly with little or no need for additional coursework.
