Networks are all around us, from the traditional concept of PCs wired to a LAN, to wireless devices, to cloud computing and internet of things (IoT). The one common thing is all these devices require secure and reliable networks in order to function.
The management of networks is a core function for many organisations. The Computer Engineering with Network Infrastructure stream incorporates a number of modules which will prepare you to obtain industry accredited certification in addition to the institute award. These include the Cisco CCNA Routing and Switching, Wireless, Security and the CCNP Switch certifications.
What do I do in the first year?
• Building and testing electronic circuits based on the
• Arduino microcontroller
• Configuring small networks based on Cisco CCENT
• How a computer works inside the box, based on
• CompTIA A+
• Introduction to Java programming
• Complete an electronic project
• Computer applications (Microsoft Office User System)
• Mathematics
Why take this course?
You will acquire skills in the configuration and fault finding of network devices, including PCs, servers, switches, routers and access points. You will understand the nature of network security threats and appropriate protection systems. You will also be introduced to the legal issues associated with data integrity on computer systems and the design and testing of engineering support systems. Project skills will be developed through group projects undertaken.
