Mission, Vision and Objectives
The School of Technology is critical in accomplishing the mission and vision of JP Catholic, which is to shape creators and innovators, leaders and
entrepreneurs at the intersections of communications media, technology and business, guided by the spiritual, moral and social teachings of Jesus Christ.
The curriculum prepares students for careers that deal with computer systems from design through implementation, including the
design of computing systems and computing components of products, developing and testing their prototypes, and implementing them to market.
Computer Engineering
Computer engineering as an academic field encompasses the broad areas of computer science and electrical engineering.
Computer engineering is defined in this report as follows.
Computer engineering is a discipline that embodies the science and technology of design, construction, implementation, and maintenance of software and
hardware components of modern computing systems and computer-controlled equipment. Computer engineering has traditionally been viewed as a combination of both
computer science (CS) and electrical engineering (EE).
Hence, this unique combination prepares students for careers that deal with computer systems from design through implementation. Computing systems are
components of a wide range of products such as fuel injection systems in vehicles, medical devices such as x-ray machines, communication devices such as
cell phones, and household devices such as alarm systems and washing machines. Designing computing systems and computing components of products,
developing and testing their prototypes, and implementing them to market are examples of what computer engineers would do.

The learning experience at JP Catholic is influenced by the call of the late Pope John Paul II to the need that "the world needs genuine witnesses to Christian ethics in the field of business" making the world's marketplaces and workplaces better for every race and creed.

Course Descriptions
Occupations for Which Students Will be Prepared
The BS degree in Technology, with a concentration in Computer Engineering prepares students for careers in the design of computer-based systems to
address highly specialized and specific application needs.
Computer engineers work in most industries, including the computer, aerospace, telecommunications, power production, manufacturing, defense, and electronics
industries. They design high-tech devices ranging from tiny microelectronic integrated-circuit chips, to powerful systems that utilize those chips and
efficient telecommunication systems that interconnect those systems. Applications include consumer electronics (CD and DVD players, televisions, stereos,
microwaves, gaming devices) and advanced microprocessors, peripheral equipment, systems for portable, desktop and client/server computing, and communications
devices (cellular phones, pagers, personal digital assistants). It also includes distributed computing environments (local and wide area networks, wireless
networks, internets, intranets), and embedded computer systems (such as aircraft, spacecraft, and automobile control systems in which computers are embedded
to perform various functions). A wide array of complex technological systems, such as power generation and distribution systems and modern processing and
manufacturing plants, rely on computer systems developed and designed by computer engineers.
