My Courses
CET4773 | Fall 2025| Prof. Cardenas
Technologies, protocols, and techniques used to connect a computer network with other networks through the use of gateways that provide a common method of routing information packets between the networks. Internetworking technology allows computing devices to other internal and external devices, components or systems. Topics include Local Area Networks (LAN) and Wide Area Networks (WAN) implementation, wireless networks implementation, network security, advanced switching and routing configuration, advanced TCP/IP configuration, and network management. In particular, this semester will focus on the content required to obtain the CCENT/CCNA ICND1 certification from CISCO. NOTE: This course was formerly known as Microcomputer Interfacing.
SWET100 | Cultural Competent Information Systems
Cultural competence is the ability to effectively communicate, interact, and work with people from different cultural backgrounds. Cultural competence is essential for information systems that aim to serve diverse communities. Cultural competence in information systems involves designing, developing, and implementing systems that are accessible, inclusive, and culturally sensitive. By prioritizing these considerations, organizations can create information systems that are not only effective but also more responsive to the needs of diverse communities.
CET4973 | Introduction to AI | Fall 2024
Introduction to basic methods of Artificial Intelligence (AI) such as searching, knowledge representation, problem-solving and learning. Through discussions, small projects and examples, students learn what AI is, some of the major developments in the field, promising directions and the techniques for making computers exhibit intelligent behavior. Students make use of available development tools and explore some areas of application such as recommender systems, natural language processing, robotics, and machine learning.
CET1111 | Logic and Problem Solving | Spring 2025
A practical introduction to the foundations of design thinking and problem-solving applied in computer engineering technology. Students are brought into the process of building physical computer systems that interact with the user or the environment through sensors and actuators. Through project-based learning, students apply fundamental computational techniques, logic, creative problem-solving, and iterative development.
CET4773 | Internetworking Technologies | Fall 2024
Technologies, protocols, and techniques used to connect a computer network with other networks through the use of gateways that provide a common method of routing information packets between the networks. Internetworking technology allows computing devices to other internal and external devices, components or systems.
