• Project leadership.

• Quality.

• Contextual learning.

• Technology and service delivery.

• Consumer focus

Upon completion students shall be able to:

  1. Describe LAN organization and operation.
  2. Describe the purpose and function of various LAN protocols.
  3. Describe the purpose and function of LAN interconnection technologies.
  4. Use LANs for data communications.
  5. Use network analysis software to view, verify, and troubleshoot network traffic conditions.
  6. Work productively as a team, practicing project leadership, interpersonal skills and conflict resolution in a networked environment.
  7. Practice problem solving via the planning, organization and delivery of projects in a networked environment.

Program Objectives:

  1. Continue development of umbrella competencies.
  2. Integrate umbrella competencies and technical competencies in the work place.
  3. Form foundation for more advanced telecommunications courses.

Student learning outcomes:

The student will be familiar with the operating principles and applications of local area networks (LANs).

The student will use basic mathematical, scientific and technical concepts to the solutions of LAN related problems.

The student will gain facility at constructing and trouble shooting LANs in the laboratory with proper use of test equipment.

The student will focus on appropriate communication skills, particularly technical reports through the laboratory.

The student will work as part of a technical team, particularly in the laboratory.

The student will pursue a telecommunications project that will include a formal oral and written report to demonstrate knowledge of their topic
