How much computer expertise is necessary for a student in ITDE?
The computer is a critical tool for many fields, disciplines, and professions. The computer is a basic tool for those studying in ITDE. However, expertise in programming, networking, or other advanced computer science competencies is not necessary. What is needed is a modern computer, connected to a high speed network, with accessories such as video recorders, digital still cameras, microphones and speakers available for independent use and for connection to the computer. The ITDE student should have modest experience with these instructional tools – more advanced competencies will be presented in ITDE courses.
