| Dunwoody College of Technology currently has the need for an Adjunct Instructor in Computer Systems Analysis (BCSA). This position is responsible for initiating the teaching and learning process with a focus on continuous improvement in an environment in which students can accomplish the learning objectives of the course of instruction. The expected results are that students are able to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, ethics, and use of proper tools to meet industry and professional business standards.
The program prepares students to analyze procedures, methods, and uses of computer systems. Graduates develop the critical thinking, troubleshooting, and analytical skills to help companies build and maintain computer systems, design and implement network systems, design software, or make changes to hardware to improve routine habits. They also learn how to study an organization’s current computer systems and procedures and make recommendations to management to help the organization operate more efficiently and effectively.
