DESCRIPTION

The degree provides students with the necessary skills to assist in the planning, design, troubleshooting, and maintenance of various devices such as ATMs, kiosks, slot machines, and related devices. Instruction includes network management systems such as player tracking/slot management systems or ATM Network Monitoring systems. The appropriate regulations, such as slot machines, related gaming regulations or ATM related banking regulations will be covered in each concentration. Key common and specialized components and sub-assemblies of these devices will be covered. For example, some of these components and sub-assemblies are random number generators, opto-couplers, coin comparators, dollar bill acceptors, and printers. Computers and networks that use these devices and slot machine gaming are addressed. This two-year program provides the student with the repair methods and procedures used in the industries supported by each concentration. Instruction takes place in a hands-on state-of-the-art environment.
