About This Course
Modern network technology is constantly changing and evolving, but with the right foundational knowledge, students can get up to speed and even dive deep into research projects on networking. This course starts with the groundwork and builds up, offering the basics of data communications and computer networks, and laying foundations for network protocols, data communications models, networking devices, and network types.
Where this course goes above and beyond is with its real-world, applied component: network management, network design, network operation, and day-to-day troubleshooting tips that students are bound to encounter in the workplace. Bottom line: Students learn how the computer networks they use every day actually operate, and they learn to identify, describe, repair, and prevent network problems.
