Program Outcomes
Program outcomes are overarching skills that are emphasized and reinforced throughout several courses in a specific program; they are measurable statements that define what students should know or be able to do by the end of a certificate or degree at Clark College. After successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
- ANALYSIS : Analyze contemporary computing solutions utilizing computing principles.
- DESIGN: Develop solutions to real world computing problems.
- ETHICS: Apply ethical principles to computing practice.
- TEAMWORK: Function effectively as a member of a professional team in the development of computing solutions.
- COMMUNICATION: Communicate computing solutions effectively in a variety of professional contexts.
