DEGREE: ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE
SCHOOL OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATH
Cloud computing is the technology which reduces costs for processing, storing, and securing large amounts of data by using on-demand networked computers instead of local hardware to develop a system’s information technology infrastructure.
The goals of the program are: (1) to prepare students for entry-level positions in cloud computing by providing them with instruction on the overall computer information management of IT projects and IT support for cloud systems and (2) to provide the appropriate foundation for further studies in cloud computing.
Student Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of the Cloud Computing Associate of Applied Science program, the learner will be able to:
- Analyze business and information system needs to identify and select appropriate cloud-based products, tools, and sevices (SLO #1)
- Identify appropriate solutions to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availabilty of data (SLO #2)
- Apply core concepts of agile methodologies and iteration to solve problems (SLO #3)
- Apply critical thinking skills to design, deploy, and maintain cloud-native solutions to meet project needs with focus on security and scalability (SLO #4)
