field.
Nature of the Work
Information Technology
technicians are found in all businesses and industries. These
technicians work in systems repair and networking environments in
almost every commercial field. The Bureau of Labor Statistics
reports that systems analysts, computer engineers, data base
administrators, computer engineers, data base administrators,
computer support specialists, and other computer personnel are
projected to be the fastest growing job group in the economy.
These technicians must be able to set up or diagnose malfunctioning
equipment, as well as have the ability to use the proper test
equipment and tools. A knowledge of all networking software and
operating systems is required to meet the challenge of working with
computers today. All developed skills are required to operate and
maintain simple and complex units. Technicians in the area of
Information Technology are vital to all forms of "systems"
management in our society and are responsible for all phases of
software and hardware systems.
Program
Description
The
Program consists of a combination of job simulated projects
providing the student with realistic "hands-on" learning
experiences. Students will be provided with a first hand knowledge
of the software, hardware, and operations of personal computers used
in business and industry today. This may include building,
repairing, troubleshooting, installing, networking and servicing
personal computers. The instruction also includes an introduction
to computer concepts, keyboarding, and a thorough education in
common applications (to include database, word processing,
spreadsheets, desktop publishing, and presentations). Instruction
continues with networking, distance communications, multiple
operating systems, and culminates with system analysis, diagnosis,
and basic troubleshooting on IBM-compatible computers.
