Students in the microcomputer network technologies curricula may pursue a course of study leading to the A.A.S., a certificate, or a letter of recognition. The associate’s degree curriculum is designed to prepare graduates for technical employment in a high-technology area. The certificate curricula are for individuals seeking a career change or desiring to augment their education for career advancement. Students also have the option of transferring to certain four-year institutions that offer bachelor of technology degree programs.

This A.A.S track provides entry-level skills in the field of microcomputers, electronics, and network technologies. Topics include basic electronics, microcomputer architecture, configuration, peripherals, and installation; microcomputer troubleshooting and repair; and network wired and wireless installation, operation, and troubleshooting.

This curriculum, incorporating basic electronics and digital electronic devices and communication systems, prepares students to enter the wireless communication systems field. It also provides a foundation in cellular theory and construction of wireless communication systems.
