| Computer Technology (Web Track) - Program Discontinued! | |||
| Associate in Applied Science | |||
|
The Computer Technology program consists of a sequence of college level courses leading to the Associate in Applied Science degree. Computer Technology places less emphasis on mathematics and more on computer hardware, digital logic, and microprocessors. Graduates are prepared to work in a technical environment where a knowledge of the interface between hardware and software is necessary. These positions may include computer operators, technician/programmers, or engineering aides, working on large software projects or working directly with digital devices such as microprocessors and computer interfaces for sensors and controllers. The program may take more than two years to complete depending on a student's academic background. Preparatory courses are offered for students not meeting entry requirements for the regular Computer Technology program. Courses taken to meet prerequisite requirements will not count as credit towards the Computer Technology degree. Students may elect to transfer to four year schools to pursue a bachelor of science program in Computer Science or Information Technology. Students planning to transfer should seek the advice of the department chairperson. Students can attend full-time or part-time, both day and evening. |

|
A student seeking a career in the computer programming profession should have a home computer. Students will have to use computers to write programs, analyze problems, make presentations, and write reports. Many assignments cannot be completed without computers. While the College provides access to computers, it is not possible to provide enough machines or convenient times for everyone. Students are strongly urged to purchase Windows-capable systems with speeds of at least 600 MHZ, with 128 Meg of RAM, and a 8Gb hard drive. The CST department currently uses Microsoft Visual C++.net as its main computing language. w - Writing Emphasis Course |

| After BCC then what? | |||
| Graduates of the BCC Computer Technology program find employment
in many different industries, from large corporations to small firms that
are just getting started. Some BCC graduates currently work on computer
systems for aircraft and flight simulators, others on software for computer
games. Some graduates are working as support personnel for engineering groups,
university research groups, and quality control groups in corporations like
IBM, Hughes, Martin Marietta, Universal Instruments, United Engineers, and
Binghamton University,
just to name a few.
Other BCC graduates have chosen instead to pursue further education. The Computer Technology graduate may transfer to a bachelor of technology or bachelor of science program in Computer Science or Information Science with the addition of some calculus and higher math courses taken at BCC. |
