he Computer Systems Engineering Technology program is designed to prepare
graduates for a broad range of career opportunities in the information
technology field. Technicians may troubleshoot and repair computer
workstations and related equipment. They may design and set up computer
networks, as well as provide ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting of such
systems. Graduates are prepared to work in virtually any organization or

Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) certification .
pon completion of this program, you will be prepared to obtain employment as a
computer network technician or administrator, or to continue your studies at
the Bachelors degree level in disciplines such as computer sciences,
electrical engineering, or business administration. You should speak with an
academic advisor to be sure that the courses you select would satisfy the
requirements of the receiving institution.
