PROGRAMS / COURSE DESCRIPTION
augmented with computer-aided individualized
instruction modules covering selected electronic
principles related to the PC. Satisfies computer
industries’ A+ certification requirements.
ELCT 63 PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC):
TROUBLESHOOTING
Units: 3.0 - 96-108 hours individualized instruction. (No
prerequisite)
This course is a continuation of ELCT 95, Personal
Computing Servicing. This hands-on course is designed
to provide comprehensive troubleshooting down to the
component level. Topics include computer circuits,
central processing unit (CPU) and support circuits,
system monitors, input/output (I/O), system and
secondary cache memory, video, disk drives and their
control, and troubleshooting techniques.
ELCT 65 PC MONITORS
Units: 3.0 -96-108 hours individualized instruction. (No
prerequisite)
This hands-on course covers the fundamentals of
troubleshooting and repairing PC monitors. Major topics
include signal inputs, external adjustments, components
and circuit identification, power supply, video, vertical,
and horizontal drive circuits, and troubleshooting, The
student will utilize multimeters, signal generators, and
oscilloscopes to troubleshoot various monitor faults.
This course meets the objectives of the PC monitor
section of the A+ certification examination.
ELCT 69 NETWORK TOPOLOGIES AND CABLING
Units: 2.0 - 64-72 hours individualized instruction. (No
prerequisite)
This course provides both the technical instruction and
the practical maintenance skills required to identify and
layout common network topologies, and the type of
cabling required for each. The course also includes
hands-on projects configuring both a bus and star
network, constructing the appropriate cables, installing
the proper connectors, and testing the system using
standard testing equipment.
ELCT 70 PC OPERATING SYSTEMS
Units: 3.0 - 96-108 hours individualized instruction. (No
prerequisite)
This course provides the student with the necessary
background working with MS DOS 6.22 and MS
Windows 3.11 for Workgroups to successfully pursue
the A+ certification program. This is a self-paced
program that utilizes computer aided instruction (CAI) as
the principle instruction tool.
ELCT 71 PRINCIPLES OF DIGITAL LOGIC AND
CIRCUITS
Units: 4.0 - 48-54 hours lecture and 48-54 hours
laboratory. (No prerequisite)
This course will introduce students to digital logic
circuits. Students will cover basic concepts in digital
electronics, and discrete digital components. Hands-on
lab will cover steps to build, verify and troubleshoot
digital circuits with emphasis on practical applications
and proper use of test equipment. Topics include binary
systems, logic gates, combinational logic, synchronous
sequential logic. Flip-Flops, asynchronous sequential
logic, register, counters, memory, and digital integrated
circuits.
ELCT 73 MICROPROCESSOR PRINCIPLES

laboratory. (No prerequisite)
This course covers computer number systems and
codes, computer arithmetic, programming, the internal
register, structure of the 6800 and 6808 microprocessors,
microprocessors interfacing to RAM, ROM,
and various input/output devices, input and output data
operations through a peripheral interface adapter, and
applications of the PIA.
ELCT 78A NETWORK FUNDAMENTALS
Units: 4.0 - 48-54 hours lecture and 48-54 hours
laboratory. (No prerequisite)
The goal of this course is to introduce students to
fundamental networking concepts and technologies. It
will assist students in developing the skills necessary to
plan implement small networks across a range of
applications. Topics include OSI and TCP/IP models,
different network topologies, IP addressing and subnetting.
Satisfies Cisco Certified Network Associate
(CCNA) certification exam requirements.

Units: 4.0 - 48-54 hours lecture and 48-54 hours
laboratory. (No prerequisite)
This course describes the architecture, components,
and operation of routers, and explains the principles of
routing and routing protocols. Students with hands-on
approach will be able to analyze, configure, verify and
troubleshoot routing protocols RIPv1, RIPv2, EIGRP,
and OSPF. Satisfies Cisco Certified Network Associate
(CCNA) certification exam requirements.
ELCT 78C LAN SWITCHING AND WIRELESS
Units: 4.0 - 48-54 hours lecture and 48-54 hours
laboratory. (No prerequisite)
