Minor in Computer Technology

1
Minor in Computer Technology

• Computer EngineeringUCSC Baskin School of
  Engineering

2

• Computer Engineering focuses on the design,
  analysis and application of computers and on
  their applications as components of systems.
• The Computer Technology Minor provides a broad
  overview of the underlying hardware and software
  technologies of the computer age within the
  context of society.

Who is the Minor for?

• Students interested in the use of computer
  technology in another discipline
• The minor will inform you of the possibilities of
  computer technology and enable you to work with
  engineering teams to solve problems.
• Or Students interested in K-12 teaching.
• The minor does not focus on the foundations of
  engineering (math and physics), but instead the
  application and use of computer technology.
