Engineering Technology option in Technology and Engineering Education. Description The minor in Web and Technology Literacy is designed to give students from many majors some valuable internet and web authoring skills and a broad understanding of technology. Digital devices and computers are ubiquitous in our lives, yet most people do not know how they were designed, how they work and how to use them. All CSULB baccalaureate degrees prepare students for the reading, writing, mathematical operations, speaking and critical thinking. This minor will provide the technical skills not included in non-technical degrees, but required for success in a highly technical world. This minor will prepare students to work with a variety of technologies including computers and related technologies and the proper setup and operation of equipment along with valuable troubleshooting skills required of today's work force. Students will gain an understanding of the system design process and how our digital world works. Students will learn to acquire and evaluate information from the internet and to communicate information via the internet including ethical issues encountered when using the internet. In addition, students will learn to create a robust, useable, and accessible Web site. This minor will provide valuable technical skills for a variety of fields including graphic arts, teaching, journalism, law, business and public administration, social work and many others. The minor is conferred concurrently with the BS/BA degree. Requirements (Effective 2008/2009 Catalog Year) Completion of 21 units as specified below: Completion of 15 core units: CECS 110, 200, 202 , 300, 410.

New Procedure for Computer Science & Computer Engineering Undergraduate Advising: All students are asked to see Daniel Gould for all advising matters regarding your major. He will advice on matters regarding general education courses, transferability of classes, class schedule set-up, completing/updating program planners (which will need final approval and be signed-off by the appropriate undergraduate advisor), or probationary counseling Daniel Gould will refer you to either undergraduate advisor if needed You may see one of the undergraduate advisors directly if you a seeking career advisement, or advise in selection of upper division CECS classes. Note: Dr. Johnson will advise Computer Engineering majors only Dr. Monge will advise Computer Science majors only Undergraduate Program Advisors Computer Engineering Thomas Johnson Computer Science Alvaro Monge General Academic Major Advising Daniel Gould B.S.E.T., Technology and Engineering Education, CECS Minors, & Certificate Barbara Mack Official Program Information Department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science go to the current CSULB catalog section that describes the Department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science.
