COMPUTER NETWORK

SYNOPSIS

COMPUTER NETWORK course introduces students to the concepts and principles of data transmission and computer networks. This course enables students to correctly use standard terminology in describing the main Local Area Network (LAN) topologies, and hardware components used in networking. This course provides students with the knowledge and skills to build a network infrastructure using copper cable, fiber optic cable, and wireless devices. Students also learn to troubleshoot network and secure the network.

Topic 1: Introduction to Networking (06 : 06)
Topic 2: The Open System Interconnection (OSI) Model and Network Protocols (06 : 06)
Topic 3: Data Transmission and Networking Media (08 : 08)
Topic 4: Wireless Technologies (04 : 04)
Topic 5: Basic Security (02 : 02)
Topic 6: Network Troubleshooting (04 : 04)

LABORATORY ACTIVITY

Students perform hands-on activities using computer tool kit, hardware and network tools (screwdrivers, pliers, cable stripper, crimping tools, punchers, cables, switch, cable tester, fiber optic cables, rack, wireless network devices) and troubleshoot network
