My Courses
ENGR 1001 | Exploring Engineering Technology | Summer 2023
A project-based introduction to engineering with a focus on Mechanical, Electrical, and Computer Engineering Technologies. A comprehensive overview of these exciting fields that goes beyond theory and textbook knowledge by providing hands-on experience through the development of an automated robotic system that emulates real-world applications. An opportunity to explore different options and learn about the exciting career opportunities available in each area. Students gain a deep understanding of the practical applications of engineering and develop the basic skills needed to succeed in the field.
EMT1111 Logic and Problem Solving
This course introduces the foundations of problem-solving and computer programming as it is applied to computer engineering technology. It provides a basic understanding of programming techniques, logic, and number systems through hands-on laboratory exercises in a modern programming language. Students will learn Python to understand basic programming concepts a. The course encourages students to cooperate with others and use their imagination, creativity, and problem-solving.
EMT1111 Logic and Problem Solving | (HD04) Fall 2023 | Dr. Mendoza

CET4773 | Fall 2023 | Dr. Mendoza
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.
