What is Computer Networking?
Computer Networking specialists keep us connected and productive.
In this module, students will explore the many technical components of computer networking such as how devices are connected in a network, how information travels through a network, IP addressing and Binary notation. Students will utilize a professional-grade networking tool called Cisco Packet Tracer to build and configure several types of computer networks.
Meet Alicia
Alicia works on a networking team in a media company. Students learn about her pathway to an entry level career.
Technical Skills in a Business Context
Skills don't exist in a vacuum
All of the skills and materials covered in this module are couched in real-world contexts, so students come away with knowledge of not just the skills but how they are used and why they are important and valued in the world.
Network Topologies
The technical skills taught in this module revolve around computer networks. These skills serve a crucial function for any company or organization that create web reliant products or utilizes web-based products for their core functions and services.
The Projects
Through the Technical project students will learn how to create a network topology.
The final project in this course asks the student to create a presentation to showcase the different routes someone can take to enter a career in Computer Networking and the career prospects of doing so.
