• Rettke, Eric G.

 I help people learn to use computers. I teach transferable introduction courses as well as elective skills classes in Computer Science and Information technology. My job as a computer and network support specialist for the college adds to my ability to help students become self learners in the ever changing world of technology. Check out my class schedule to see if I can help you.

• Computer Science 450 is for Web Developers and focuses on XHTML/CSS, AJAX with PHP and MySQL. It is a good way to get introduced to these technologies. This is a fun class for computer enthusiasts.
• Computer Science 487 is for those studying to become entry level network technicians. There is hands on wireless network setup and labs for configuring larger TCP/IP networks. This is a fun class for computer enthusiasts. 
• Computer Science 401 is an introduction to the world of computers and is a stepping point to programming in Visual Basic.  This is a fun class for transfer students who want to learn about computers.
• Computer Science 435 is for those interested in becoming a computer or network technician. It focuses on new operating systems like Linux and some Windows 7. This is a fun class for computer enthusiasts. This class is not always scheduled so watch for it!
• I am the faculty advisor for the Robotecas http://www.robotecas.com/  a student club here a LA Mission College.
• Occasionally the Robotecas do robotics demonstrations at César Chávez Celebra la Ciencia. We work with our Project Grad middle schools to develop student interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Our robotics program requires summer middle school students to take both robotics and algebra. An ARCHES/SITE study shows that participating students pass algebra the first time and compare just as well as their college bound peers.

I look forward to meeting you in my classroom and/or through the Robotecas.
