Featured Courses
Computer Science I
In this introductory course, students obtain fundamental computer science knowledge and develop programming skills using an object-oriented approach, incorporating security awareness, human-computer interactions and social responsibility. This course provides students with a basic foundation in computing history, computing careers, computer organization, operating system responsibilities, software development process, algorithm design and analysis, programming paradigms, and human interaction design.
Digital Principles
Develop the fundamentals of the binary system. Circuit implementation from Boolean functions and map minimization. Course includes study of combinational logic, sequential logic circuits, flip-flops, counters and shift register. Lab enables application of theory to practical digital circuits.
Routing I (CISCO)
The course introduces basic routing principles in a network environment, supplemented with industry-standard labs, such as those provided by CISCO. Lecture and laboratory assignments are an integral part of the course. The course focuses on network terminology and protocols, local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), Open System Interconnection (OSI) networking model, cabling, cabling tools, routers, router programming, Ethernet, Internet Protocol addressing/subnetting and network standards.
