PROGRAM MISSION
The mission of the Certificate Program in Computer Technology at Diné College is to prepare students for successful careers in the field of computer and information technology by providing foundational knowledge and practical skills in programming, hardware, and networking.
PROGRAM GOALS
The goals of the Computer Technology Certificate Program are to:
- Develop student proficiency in computer programming with an emphasis on web design and applications
- Build foundational knowledge of computer hardware and system components
- Prepare students to understand and apply computer networking concepts
- Support student readiness for entry-level employment or continued education in computer and information technology fields.
PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon successful completion of the program, students will be able to:
1. CODE DEVELOPMENT AND ALGORITHMS: Understand essential elements of code development, including algorithm design.
a. Apply knowledge of computing and mathematics to algorithm development
b. Design, implement, an evaluate algorithms
2. DATA COMMUNICATION: learn, understand, and describe the essential elements of data communications and networking.
3. PROBLEM SOLVING: Analyze well-defined technical problems and identify appropriate solutions.
4. NETWORKING AND HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION: Implement a simple local area network (LAN) using hubs, bridges, and switches, and identify the names of functions of motherboard components.
CURRICULUM ALIGNMENT (ASSESSMENT MATRIX - SUMMARY)
Program learning outcomes are introduced, reinforced, and assessed across the following course:
- CSC 110 – Introduction to Computer Technology
- CSC 140 – Computer Hardware
- CSC 150 – Programming Fundamentals
- CSC 240 – Network Fundamentals
This alignment ensures that students progressively develop and demonstrate required technical competencies throughout the program.
