GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS/TECHNICAL<br />
(INSTITUTIONAL CERTIFICATE)<br />
The GIS/Technical certificate program is designed to prepare technical professionals<br />
to use geographic information systems (GIS) technology in a variety of applications,<br />
such as mapping, emergency services, land development, local planning,<br />
utility services, facility management and education. Managers can learn about new<br />
opportunities in the application of this technology. Basic computer use knowledge<br />
and math and reading skills at the college level are required. Completion of the<br />
required certificate courses can be applied to the Geographic Information Systems<br />
A.A.S. degree. Courses in each level (Foundation, Core, Advanced Track) must<br />
be completed prior to advancing to the next level. W h e re more than one course<br />
is off e red within a level, courses may be taken in any sequence.<br />

HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING/SECURITY<br />
(INSTITUTIONAL CERTIFICATE)<br />
High performance computers such as PC clusters are a collection of interconnected<br />
computers working together as a single computing resource to accomplish<br />
tasks that otherwise would take a long period of time to complete. While many<br />
knowledgeable information systems professionals are aware of risks and threats<br />
to these networks, the available defensive tools and techniques are often a great<br />
mystery. This certificate targets network professionals in the computing field who<br />
would like to add security training to their skills when communicating between<br />
PC clusters. It helps these professionals understand the risks to modern networks<br />
and how to maintain network defenses. Completion of the required certificate<br />
courses can be applied to the High Performance Computing A.A.S. degree.<br />
Courses in each level (Foundation, Core, Advanced Track) must be completed<br />
p r i o r to advancing to the next level. W h e re more than one course is off e re d<br />
within a level, courses may be taken in any sequence.<br />
