Why
a Support In Computing and Information Technology?
A support area (minor) in Computing and Information
Technology empowers you to use and manage computing and information
technology effectively and ethically. As you proceed through
your computing and information technology courses, you will work to understand and
develop skills in communicating and problem solving both with
and through the computer.
Revolutionary advances in microprocessors, along
with advancements in software, storage devices and telecommunications,
are responsible for quantum shifts in information accessibility
and management. Indeed, computer technology is transforming virtually
all other technologies. Thus, regardless of your major area of
study, you will find that a support area in computing and information
technology complements your academic work, enhances your
professional development, and fosters your ingenuity and imagination.
The Curriculum:
The computing and information technology curriculum balances
technical and theoretical knowledge with practical application.
The technical and theoretical components enable you to understand
how the computer works, to appreciate its power and to identify
important trends. The practical components enable you to function
as an independent computer user and to develop effective computer
applications.
