2 Networking Technology Program Description The Networking Technology Curriculum prepares individuals for employment supporting network infrastructure environments. Students will learn how to use technologies to provide reliable transmission and delivery of data, voice, image, and video communications in business, industry, and education. Course work includes design, installation, configuration, and management of network infrastructure technologies and network operating systems. Emphasis is placed on the implementation and management of network software and the implementation and management of hardware such as switches and routers. Graduates may find employment in entry-level jobs as local area network managers, network operators, network analysts, and network technicians. Graduates may also be qualified to take certification examinations for various network industry certifications, depending on their local program. Because the use of computers is integral to this curriculum, some courses are delivered in an online format. Networking Fundamentals Diploma The Networking Fundamentals Diploma prepares students for entry level positions in Networking. It provides basic skills in network operating systems such as Windows Server and Red Hat Enterprise, as well as fundamental knowledge of networking hardware and basic router configurations. Cisco Networking Certificate The Cisco Networking Certificate is meant to prepare students for the Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) Certification. The curriculum includes courses in network theory and protocols, router and switch configuration, and network design. The Cisco courses are also technical electives for the students in the Computer Engineering Technology Associate in Applied Science degree program. Network Security Certificate This certificate is designed to focus on the crucial task of securing a network. Upon completion, students will gain the ability to identify information security risks, create an information security policy, identify processes to implement, enforce policy, implement secure data transmission technologies, identify normal network traffic using network analysis tools, and design basic security defenses. This certificate also will help prepare the student for the CompTIA Security+ Industry Certification. By passing the certificate exam, students earn an industry-recognized credential indicating a basic technical proficiency in securing networks. This certificate will also increase the marketability of the student in finding employment in addition to the Cisco CCNA Security Industry Certification. Unique Aspects of the Networking Technology Program Hardware Students in the program utilize Cisco routers and Catalyst switches, Linksys wireless routers, and other hardware in their coursework. They perform basic configuration tasks for routers and switches as well as more advanced configurations for securing a network and securing the networking devices from network attacks. Wire cutters, cable strippers, connector crimpers, and punch down tools are utilized to create network cables and to wire patch panels. Digital multimeters, tone generators and locators (fox and hound), and wire mapping are utilized to test and troubleshoot network infrastructure cabling. Software Cisco PacketTracer is utilized to design and test network configurations in a simulated environment. Numerous security applications are explored and utilized in the lab. Students also configure Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server software for backing up and storing router and switch images and configurations. Numerous networking protocols are explored and configured including DNS, HTTP, FTP, DHCP, Telnet, and SSH. Operating Systems Windows desktop operating systems, Windows Server with Active Directory and Linux server operating systems are utilized. As an added bonus, students are eligible to obtain various Microsoft operating systems and development software through the MSDN Academic Alliance now called Microsoft DreamSpark. Virtualization softwares such as VMWare and VirtualBox are also utilized in many classes. Certifications An integral part of the degree program is the Cisco Networking Academy. These classes prepare students for the Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) certification. We also have courses designed to prepare students for the Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) certification that is the starting point toward Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) and Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) certification. In addition to these certifications, we have classes that prepare students for various CompTIA certifications such as the A+, Network+, and Security+.
