A Glimpse into Computer Technology Training


A Glimpse into Computer Technology Training

by: David R. Wetzel

Computer technology schools offer a range of degrees and programs. Schools that teach computer technology include technical schools, colleges and universities. Degrees in computer technology are offered at three levels for beginning students; bachelor’s degree, associate’s degree and specialized computer certifications.

Technical schools offer computer technology degree programs year round, while colleges and universities offer summer courses for earning a degree quicker or part-time programs for busy students.

Typical programs offered by computer technology schools such as ITT Technical Institute include information security systems, data communication systems management, computer science, software engineering, web development, networking and software applications. Degrees from other schools of computer technology include computer gaming design, interactive media develop, web development, and systems administrator.

Computer technology schools offer courses focused on the architectures of operating systems, network systems, user interface construction, C + + language, data bases types and formats, programming standards, etc. These courses are designed for those who wish to earn degrees in computer software and computer information systems. Courses focused on web design and development includes Internet hierarchy, authoring tools, scripting designs and more.

Bachelor’s degree computer technology upper-division courses focus on data storage advanced warehousing techniques, management of technology projects, multiple computer programming languages, graphical interface design, software development methods and more. The advantage of a bachelor’s degree in computer technology is a wider selection of employment opportunities.

Computer degrees lead to earning certifications in computer technology. Many courses in computer programs prepare students to pass tests for computer technology certifications. According to About.com’s article Computer Certification’s Top 10 Certifications for 2009, the top two certifications are Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert and Certified Information Systems Auditor. Their pass rates are low; however, average annual salaries are high.

Someone considering a computer technology education needs to first determine the type of degree they want to pursue. This decision helps narrow the search for a computer technology school. Computer technology bachelor’s degree can be completed in four years, associate’s degree programs can be completed in two years and certification programs range from few months to a year.

    In Philippines we have a course ASSOCIATE IN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY. It's mainly concern with computer programming and a basic computer hardware servicing. You'll be expected to be a junior programmer after graduating this course.

    Positive:
    i) reducing cost / number of staff needed.
    ii) Reducing amount of hardware (printers) due to LAN networking.
    iii) Fun – games, Internet, music, graphics.
    iv) Communication. More ways to interact globally.
    v) Education – access to info for research.
    vi) 3rd world – cheaper to provide laptops thean to send books over (OLPC, etc)..

    Negative:
    i) Hardcore porn industry (including child porn)
    ii) Hackers, ID fraud and spoof websites,
    iii) Virusses, spam and trojans.
    iv) Cyber-bullying and cyber-stalking.

    you can get something with less features but more responsive in linux, with the ability to have multiple keyboards as well, or, just the ability of having more than 1 user on more than 1 monitor at the same time. its called mpx, its free, and developed by 1 person. what does that show about microsoft?

    A great new hardware technology being used would be Multi-Touch, which allows you to navigate through the interface using multiple fingers and natural gestures. So far I have seen it implemented in Apple's iPhone and Microsoft's Surface.

    From what I understand ..
    Information Systems study mainly involves studying things like..
    Data Base, Software design, some form of programing in high level language,Human Computer Interaction, AI etc..
    Computer Technology will involve studying..
    Some form of programing in machine level/binary level languages, hardware design, networking, etc..
    In a nut shell, IS == information storage and retreival methodologies and design.
    CT == Hardware design aspect and physical computer.

    At least this is what I fond during my studies and working as a tutor at Uni.. Hopes this helps :)

    eeh, not very cool. it’s just cameras and projectors. and you can ONLY use a wireless device, not any camera, not very amasing :( (Windows 2 stars and Mac 3 stars out of 5, i just wanna see something different, not a expensive smartboard table)

    First Doing Good in Math is basic if you want to go advance in computing
    Then choose an area in computing which you are really interested, such as web development, database, etc.
    Then learn it hard! you will then the idea of how to make money from that.
