in Applied Science degree has as its focus, preparation for entry into
the workforce. Both pro grams are designed to provide individuals with
knowledge of com puting in the PC environment while developing specific
diagnostic, repair, installation, network and programming skills. Graduates
will be expected to exhibit an in-depth understanding of PCs and demonstrate
the ability to install software and hardware, provide maintenance,
troubleshoot, evaluate PCs, train new users, and work with networks. In
