The liberal arts foundation complements the technical courses in this major. Gain valuable experience on campus as a microcomputer support specialist or laboratory assistant or supervisor. Opportunities exist for internships at places like Ernst & Young, Ford Motor Company, and Hewlett Packard.

In addition to your courses and internships, you'll complete an extended independent study project on an unfamiliar topic. A faculty member supervises your progress and provides advice where needed. The project culminates in the public presentation of a written paper of the results of the study.?
