Master's Program: A journey of technical expertise
The following list compiles brief course descriptions and syllabi that elaborate on the technical background learned while completing Michigan State University's MAET program. Each course contributed a unique piece to my technical capabilities and critical reflecting skills. Even though the program was geared toward applying technology to education there were several valuable skills acquired that can be transfered into a number of settings that include business, consulting, and management. I began this program in June 2009 and will complete by May 2011.
