EGT 107 Micro-Computer Hardware & Peripherals
Credits: 1.00This course discusses the function of the basic components that comprise a personal computer system including all peripheral support devices. The most recent changes affecting system design are identified and criteria for deciding what, when, and why in making a system purchase are discussed. Group discussions and exercises are used to reinforce the learning process. This is a survey course designed to help those with minimal computer literacy skills to better understand system and peripheral hardware features. This course is cross listed with CIS 107. PREREQUISITES: None
EGT 110 Basic Electronics
Credits: 4.00This course introduces students to fundamental electronic circuits and devices. Topics covered include Ohm's law, series-parallel circuits, LRC circuits, magnetism and the sine wave. Devices studied include resistors, capacitors, inductors, relays, transformers, semiconductor diodes, transistors, and thyristors. Laboratory experiments supplement classroom theory. PREREQUISITES: MAT 011 or equivalent.
EGT 190 Principles/Critical Think. in Technology
Credits: 3.00The primary aim of this course is to teach students how to apply standards of critical thinking to everyday problem solving situations in order to succeed in a rapidly changing world. Critical thinking standards are studied and applied to a variety of everyday situations to develop fact-finding and sound questioning skills in order to more effectively assess and find solutions to problem situations. Developing critical thinking behavior will improve the technology student146s ability to trouble-shoot systems. Business students will benefit by doing more efficient cost/benefit analysis and students of other disciplines will find learning how to think more critically a tremendous asset to their lives. PREREQUISITE: High school graduate.
