combination. Laboratory activities to include the design, construction, computer simulation and analysis of wireless communications circuits and systems. Prerequisites: CEET 3020. CEET 4800. Individual Studies (1-4) F, S The student will receive credit for approved studies in an area not covered in the CEET program. A maximum of four credits can be counted as electives for CEET majors. CEET 4890. Cooperative Work Experience (2) F, S The student will receive credit for approved electronics industrial experience. Professional development activities will include resume writing, goal setting, progress reports, and a supervisor's evaluation. Two credits are required for the BS CET and EET major. The course can be taken a maximum of three times for a total of 6 credits. CEET 4900. Special Topics (1-4) F, S A one-time special study course designed to introduce a new relevant topic that is not covered in the CEET program. Lecture and lab combination. Laboratory activities to support the selected course topic. A maximum of four credits can be counted for CEET majors. CEET 5200. Digital Electronics (DE) (5) Su DE is a course in applied digital logic. The use of digital circuits is increasing so rapidly that it's hard to imagine the limits. Students are introduced to the digital circuits found in video games, watches, calculators, digital cameras, and thousands of other devices. Students study the application of digital logic and how digital devices are used to control automated equipment. Students use industry-standard, electronic design software to build circuits and to export designs to a printed circuit autorouting program that generates printed circuit boards using chips and other components. The course meets for a total of 75 hours over a two-week period and focuses on the content as well as teaching methods appropriate for the course. This course is designed specifically and only for current high school teachers who have been assigned by their schools and districts to teach the Project Lead the Way courses in their respective schools. These courses carry graduate credit for those teachers who would use them as part of a master's degree program or for recertification.

Hoggan, Brian Rague; Instructor Specialist: Stephen K. Weaver; Instructors: Nicole A. Anderson, Robert Hilton, Kent D. Weaver I he Department of Computer Science offers an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Computer Science and a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science with emphases in Systems Integration; Software Engineering; or a Customized Option, which requires a minor. The Department also offers a minor, a teaching minor, and a BIS concentration. The program in Computer Science blends scientific and engineering principles. It contains actual, practical, applications- oriented experience as well as the intellectual study of computing. It is designed to provide a sound fundamental understanding of digital/processor logic and of digital computer organization as well as the interaction between hardware, software and the interconnection of system components. Also emphasized is software engineering which includes understanding of operating systems and other software systems design with implementation of the theory of computing, analysis of algorithms, simulation, compiler design, and knowledge-based systems. The Computer Science Associate of Applied Science and Bachelor curricula have a required common core of courses at the Freshman/ Sophomore level. The bachelor degree upper division work is divided into three selected areas. The Systems Integration Emphasis is a system integration and hardware approach emphasizing system networking, drivers and internals. Software Engineering Emphasis is a technical, scientific approach requiring a solid foundation in mathematics. Customized Option provides a flexible approach for students pursuing a minor in another academic area, working toward a concurrent baccalaureate degree in a second department, or who already have a first bachelor's degree. Computer Science ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE (A.A.S.) » Grade Requirements: A grade of "C" or better must be earned in all required CS and support courses (a grade of "C-" is not acceptable). In addition, an overall GPA for of 2.70 or higher must be attained for these required courses. » Credit Hour requirements: This degree requires 66 credit hours. » Assessment Requirements: Students will be required to complete certain assessment instruments as part of the overall requirements for receiving their associate's degree. Please see your advisor or your department for specific information regarding assessment. Advisement It is strongly suggested that Computer Science students see the departmental advisor on a regular basis. Call the department secretary at 801-626-7929 for an appointment with the advisor.
