Computer Systems Technology
Modern computers drive the technological age. With the rapid changes in the complexity
of the personal computer comes the need for technicians to keep all systems
working.
The Computer Systems Technology program trains technicians, who disassemble,
assemble, diagnose, and upgrade personal computers and networks. Hardware,
operating systems, memory, speed, and capability characterize the computer
industry. Today’s computer and its systems can be out of date within
a couple of years. The challenge for the computer technician is to master
today’s computer systems and be prepared to service tomorrow’s
new machines. The MTI Computer Systems Technology program trains tomorrow’s
computer technicians.
Please Note: Students in this program will be required
to lease a laptop computer from MTI. Please see the Admissions office
or Department Head for details.
