1 CENT - COMPUTING, ELECTRONICS, AND NETWORKING TECHNOLOGY Liaison: Website: Faculty: Aaron Tanaka ( , tanaka@hawaii.edu) Sally Dunan, Aaron Tanaka, Bradley Ramos Program Mission: The Computing, Electronics, and Networking Technology program s mission is to serve the community as a learningcentered, open door program that provides technical training to meet the demands of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry and the needs of the individual. The program is designed to provide the student with a mixture of knowledge and hands-on training with an emphasis on preparing students for entry-level employment in the ICT industry. Program Student Learning Outcomes (SLO): Upon successful completion of the CENT program, students will be able to: Apply current industry standards, protocols, and techniques; and keep up with evolving technology to maintain professional proficiency. Identify, analyze and improvise solutions to resolve problems using a systematic method. Use appropriate industry tools and testing equipment to analyze, troubleshoot, and install systems. Install, configure, operate, and maintain systems. Apply current standards for safety and security. Communicate clearly and effectively through written reports and oral presentations. Work effectively, independently, and interdependently, in diverse situations involving stress, teams, co-workers, customers, vendors, organizational partners and supervisors. Demonstrate professionalism and integrity in supporting the mission of the organization. Program Articulations: The Honolulu Community College CENT program has established an articulation with the University of Hawai'i at West O'ahu that includes the option of a Bachelor of Applied Science in CENT or the option of a Bachelor of Applied Science in Information Security and Assurance (ISA). There is also an articulation leading to a Bachelor of Arts in System Administration with Hawai i Pacific University. Students who complete either the Associate of Science degree or the Advanced Professional Certificate in CENT may apply to transfer to these institutions to complete a baccalaureate degree in these programs. Students may be concurrently enrolled in the Bachelor of Applied Science programs at UH West O ahu and the CENT AS or APC program at Honolulu CC. The CENT program counselor at Honolulu CC and the counselors at these institutions can provide more detailed information about courses specifically required or recommended for these programs. Information Assurance Courseware Certification: The Committee on National Security Systems and the National Security Agency have certified that both the University of Hawai'i - West O'ahu and Honolulu Community College offer a set of courseware that has been reviewed by national level Information Assurance Subject Matter Experts and determined to meet National Training Standards for Information Systems Security Professionals NSTISSI 4011, and CNSS 4012 for academic years Honolulu Community College has also been designated as a Center of Academic Excellence - 2 Year for training in Information Assurance. Associate in Science Degree: The Associate in Science (AS) Degree in the Computing, Electronics, and Networking Technology program is a five semester course of study that prepares the student for entrylevel employment in the field of Information and Communications Technology. Core classes are designed to give students a firm foundation in the basics of computers, networking, system administration and information security. The AS Degree also provides options for a Certificate of Achievement in Networking and Telecommunications and a Certificate of Achievement Information Assurance. Elective courses allow students to further specialize in a field of study. Students will have the opportunity to participate in an internship or cooperative education experience before completing the program. Certain CENT courses also prepare the student to take the following Information and Communications Technology industry certification exams: Computer Technician A+, Cisco Certified Network Associate, Microsoft Certified Professional, Security+, Linux+, and VMware Certified Professional. The CENT program is a Cisco Academy, a CompTIA Training Center, a Microsoft Regional Academy, and a VMware Academy.
