Necessary skills and information needed to make an informed purchase, maintain, upgrade, and evaluate personal computer systems. The student will receive hands-on instruction for performing basic preventive maintenance and the installation of simple upgrades such as adding RAM, installing hard drives, sound cards, etc. Included is the study of soldering techniques, electronic part identification, and safety and system operation. Emphasis will be placed on the student's ability to keep personal computers running at their best performance levels.
First course in a series designed to provide students with knowledge of and laboratory experiences with current and emerging computer networking technology. Focus will be on LANs, WANs, OSI models, IP addressing, cabling, CompTIA Network+, and network standards; the theory behind the various kinds of network architectures and data transmission methods, and the use of decision-making and problem-solving techniques in applying science, mathematics, and communication concepts to solve networking problems. Instruction and training are provided in the proper care, maintenance, and use of networking software, tools, and equipment. Emphasis will be placed on the Cisco System Certification. Not open to students who have received credit for CS 106.
A survey in business providing a multidisciplinary examination of how culture, society, economic systems, legal, international, political, financial institutions, and human behavior interact to affect a business organization's policy and practices with the U.S. and a global society. Demonstrates how these influences impact the primary areas of business including: organizational structure and design, leadership, human resource management, organized labor practices, marketing, financial practices, the stock and securities market, and therefore affect a business' ability to achieve its organizational goals.
The focus of this course is to provide the students with computer concepts and management information systems concepts as used with business computing. Additionally, the course covers changes in technology that affect how computers are used in business. The course includes hands-on experience using software applications such as Internet browsers, word processing, spreadsheets, databases, and presentation software.
