At end of the programme students will be 1) well versed in designing, developing, testing and deploying software applications including web-based application and 2) capable of designing and implementing a Local Area Network
The Associate Degree in Information Technology programme is designed to prepare learners for junior and entry level roles in the Information Technology sector. These include entry level jobs as software programmers and network technicians. This programme will lay a solid foundation in programming and networking technologies.
This programme will not only prepare students with necessary skills and knowledge to perform in junior positions in the IT industry, but also will provide them with a pathway to obtain a Bachelors degree in IT with a additional 2 years of full-time study.
The programme is packed with current and emerging networking and programming technologies including adequate lab hours to prepare them for the dynamic world of Information Technology.
The exponential growth in computer usage and internet has increased the need for skilled personnel who can design, implement and manage secure networked computer systems. The Associate Degree in Computer Network and Security is essentially designed bridge this skill gap.
It is designed to give the learner a three dimensional view of the key aspects of network administration and will provide students with the foundation to design and implement computer networks, manage and administer computer systems and solve network-related security problems.
The CCVP certification recognizes the increased importance placed on IT professionals of today who are responsible for integrating voice technology into underlying network architectures. Individuals who earn a CCVP certification can help create a telephony solution that is transparent, scalable, and manageable.
Earning a CCVP certification validates a robust set of skills in implementing, operating, configuring, and troubleshooting a converged IP network. The certification content focuses on Cisco Unified Communications Manager (formerly Unified CallManager), quality of service (QoS), gateways, gatekeepers, IP phones, voice applications, and utilities on Cisco routers and Cisco Catalyst switches.
The Cisco Certified Security Professional Certification (CCSP) validates advanced knowledge and skills required to secure Cisco networks. With a CCSP, a network professional demonstrates the skills required to secure and manage network infrastructures to protect productivity, mitigate threats, and reduce costs.
The CCSP curriculum emphasizes Cisco Router IOS (ISR) and Catalyst Switch security features, Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA), secure VPN connectivity, Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), Cisco Security Agent (CSA), Security Enterprise and Device Management, Network Admission Control (NAC) as well as techniques to optimize these technologies in a single, integrated network security solution.
In addition, CCSP leverages the new CCNA Security certification as a prerequisite.
The CCNP curriculum teaches the advanced skills required to manage end-to-end network infrastructures, and applications deployed on the edge of a network, such as wireless, security, and voice. Additional topics include converged networks, quality of service (QoS), VPNs, and broadband technologies.
CCNP integrates next-generation network devices and services engineered to provide wire-speed delivery of concurrent data, voice, video, and wireless services with optimized security.
Each course is designed to be delivered in a 70-hour timeframe. Approximately 45 hours will be designated to lab activities and 25 hours will be spent on curriculum content. A case study is also required.
The Cisco CCNA® curriculum provides a comprehensive overview of networking; from fundamentals to advanced applications and services. It is based on a top-down approach to networking that is popular in many colleges and universities.
This course emphasizes theoretical concepts and practical application, while providing opportunities for students to gain the skills and hands-on experience needed to design, install, operate, and maintain networks.
CCNA offers in-depth theory, challenging labs, and a detailed overview of protocol operations. It is designed for students with advanced problem-solving and analytical skills, such as degree candidates in engineering, math, or science, or for working professionals who would like to advance their careers or gain certification. CCNA helps students prepare for successful IT careers in small-to-medium businesses, as well as enterprise and service provider environments.
The CCNA curriculum is composed of four courses:
• Network Fundamentals
• Routing Protocols and Concepts
• LAN Switching and Wireless
• Accessing the WAN
Network Fundamentals is the first course and it has no prerequisites. It is a prerequisite for the other three courses. Routing Protocols and Concepts is the preferred second course in the sequence.
This course provides an excellent introduction to the IT industry and interactive exposure to personal computers, hardware, and operating systems. Students participate in hands-on activities and lab-based learning to become familiar with various hardware and software components and discover best practices in maintenance and safety.
In addition, PC Hardware and Software covers the following new topics:
• Laptops and portable devices
• Wireless connectivity
• Security
• Safety and environmental issues
• Communication skills
IT Essentials II: Network Operating Systems is an intensive introduction to multiuser, multitasking network operating systems. This 70-hour, hands-on, lab-oriented course is designed to be an overview of network operating systems and specifically covers the Linux Red Hat Network operating system.
Students will learn how to use the Linux operating system, the K Desktop Environment (KDE), and GNU Network Object Model (GNOME). This course will be a stepping stone to help prepare students for challenging careers such as skilled hardware support professional and Linux support professional.
Acquired competencies include:
• Configure network services, including basic network security and troubleshooting
• Use fundamental command-line features of the Linux environment including file system navigation, file permissions, the vi text editor, command shells, and basic network use
• Explore GUI features including Applications Manager, Text Editor, printing, and mail
• Know basic administrative tasks with Windows 2000
