Computer Engineering Technology Courses
When you earn your bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) with a specialization in Computer Engineering Technology, your curriculum may include these career-enhancing courses:
- Technology Integration 1. In this course, students apply and integrate concepts learned in computer programming, mathematics, and electronics and computer engineering technology courses in the first four semesters of the program by solving problems in the particular discipline or subject area.
- Operating Systems with Lab. Learn basic operating system concepts such as process states and synchronization, multiprocessing, multiprogramming, processor scheduling, resource management, static and dynamic relocation, virtual memory, logical and physical input/output, device allocation, disk scheduling and file management. Also introduced are techniques required to develop device drivers.
- Data Structures and Algorithms with Lab. This course introduces data structures (lists, strings, stacks, queues, trees), data encapsulation, as well as algorithms for recursion, sorting and searching. A high-level language such as C++ or Java is used.
- Database System Design with Lab. This course introduces structured query language (SQL) for implementing and accessing a relational database. Also covered is how to embed SQL into a high-level language such as C++ or Java.
- Real-Time Operating System Design with Lab. Learn characteristics of operating systems required to support embedded microprocessor systems and how these systems differ from conventional operating systems. Coursework covers "hard" and "soft" real-time operating systems and includes topics such as threads, scheduling, priority and interprocess communication. Students use computer software such as assemblers and compilers in the course.
Computer Engineering Technology Course Requirements
