COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology with a concentration in Computer Network System Management (CNSM) is a 120-unit program designed to prepare students for professional careers in networking, cloud computing, and cybersecurity. The degree combines foundational science, mathematics, and engineering coursework with applied technical training focused on modern computer networks and digital infrastructure. In the major preparation stage, students study general chemistry, engineering fundamentals, calculus for technical applications, programming in Python, and physics to build a strong scientific and analytical base. The program then progresses into core engineering technology subjects such as electronics, network fundamentals, lean methodology, engineering reporting, and a two-part senior project that develops real-world problem-solving and design skills. Students also complete a course on technology and civilization to understand the societal impact of engineering systems. The CNSM concentration provides specialized training in areas such as analog and digital circuits, network administration, Internet of Things (IoT), enterprise network management, cloud computing systems, wireless communication technologies, network security, cloud security, and cybersecurity system management. These courses ensure students are well prepared to design, manage, and secure complex networked environments used in modern industries. In addition, students must complete a business minor that includes accounting, statistics, project management, organizational behavior, and professional ethics, giving them essential management and communication skills alongside technical expertise. The program emphasizes hands-on learning, applied engineering practice, and industry-relevant tools to ensure graduates are job-ready. Overall, the CNSM degree prepares students to become skilled professionals capable of maintaining secure, efficient, and reliable network systems while supporting the growing demands of digital communication, cloud services, and cybersecurity in organizations across the public and private sectors.
