What are CTE (500 series) courses and what is their relationship to regular CIT courses?
• These courses allow students to prepare for a programming certificate provided by CTE/CMU while moving through CCAC’s CIT course work. They are taught through a CCAC partnership with Carnegie Technology Education (CTE), a Carnegie Mellon University subsidiary- a national leader in computer science education. • The first 3 courses (CIT111/CIT501), CIT115/CIT502, and CIT130/CIT503 are considered equivalent, however the CTE courses may be more intense than the comparable, corresponding 100-200 level CIT courses. • Although CIT161 is listed as comparable to CIT504, there are substantial differences in focus. • CIT161 focuses much more on the Visual Basic language and its use to access data in databases and other media. CIT504 focuses essentially on Human-Computer interface issues and usability studies. Visual Basic is a much smaller component of the course and database access is not considered at all. • For more detailed information about this program, please visit the following web site
