Chris H. Pappas Office: Applied Technology Building, Room 011 Telephone: 607 778-5022 E-mail: pappas–c@sunybroome.edu 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.

The software used by online students may come bundled with the course textbook, and/or be available on-line. Some online courses will require a student to purchase the software necessary to complete the course Computer Recommendation: A student seeking a career in the computer programming profession should have a home computer with an Internet connection. 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 1.5 GHz, with 256 Meg of RAM, and a 20 Gig hard drive. The CST Department currently uses Microsoft Visual C++.NET as its main development environment. w - Writing Emphasis Course CST119 EET125 MAT130
