73 I 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.

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 experiences as well as the intellectual study of computing. It is designed to provide a sound fundamental understanding of 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, and knowledge-based systems. The curricula for the associate's and bachelor's degrees have a required common core of courses at the Freshman/Sophomore level. The bachelor's degree upper division work is divided into three selected areas. The Computer and Network Security Emphasis is a system integration and hardware approach emphasizing network security. The Software Engineering Emphasis is a technical, scientific approach requiring a solid foundation in mathematics. The Customized Option provides a flexible approach for students pursuing a minor in another academic area, working toward a concurrent baccalaureate degree in another program, or who already have a first bachelor's degree. The Game Development Certificate consists of 15-16 credits that focus on game development and math and also requires a bachelor's degree in Software Engineering to be completed as a pre or co-requisite. Computer Science associate of applied science degree (aas) » 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 64 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. Admission Requirements Declare your program of study (refer to page 18) as Associate of Applied Science in Computer Science. There are no special admission or application requirements for this program, with the exception of a mandatory placement exam. If a student passes the placement test with a score of 73% or better then the student may enter the program beginning with the first course of CS SI1400. If the score of 73% is not achieved then the student must take the CS 1030 Foundations of Computer Science course as a prerequisite to begin course work for the program. The student will have 2 attempts to achieve the 73% score. The last score received will be the score used to determine placement. General Education Refer to pages 38-44 for the AAS general education requirements (core and breadth). COMM HU2110, ENGL EN2010 and MATH QL1080 are required. In addition to the AAS General Education Requirements and the College General Education Requirements, students must take one additional general education course which can be a Creative Arts or Humanities, a Life Science, a Physical Science, or a Social Science course. Computer Literacy as defined in this catalog is also required for the AAS degree. Students who pass the Computer Science Advanced Placement A exam with a score of 3 recdve 8 hours of credit and specific credit for CS 511022 (4). Students who pass the Computer Science Advanced Placement A exam with a score of 4 or 5 receive 8 hours of credit and specific credit for CS SI1400 (4) (If they already have the CS SI1400 (4) course they may receive CS SI1023(4)). Students who pass the Computer Science Advanced Placement A/B exam with a score of 3 receive 8 hours of credit and specific credit for CS SI1400 (4) (If they already have the CS SI1400 (4) course they may recdve CS SI 1023(4)). Students who pass the Computer Science Advanced Placement A/B exam with a score of 4 or 5 recdve 8 hours of credit and specific credit for CS SI1400 (4) and CS SI1023 (4) (If they already have the CS SI1400 (4) course they may recdve CS 511023 (4) and CS SI1022(4)).
