engineering continued ENGT 121 Digital Systems for 4 Telecommunications I
Reviews the analysis and application of advanced electronic circuits as applied to the telecommunications industry. Topics include frequency response of filters, op-amps, oscillators, amplitude modulation, noise, and LC circuits. Troubleshooting and analysis by computer simulation software is stressed throughout. Three lecture and two laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: MATH 143 Telecommunications Technical Mathematics I and CTIM 267 Computer Applications for Telecommunications.
ENGT 122 Digital Systems for 4 Telecommunications II
Students work with hardware and software installation with an introduction to personal computer fundamentals. Cover management and support of the Windows operating system, configuration of user-related issues, and customization. Computer maintenance and trouble- shooting fundamentals are also covered. Students connect a personal computer to a network and install and set up a printer. Home technology integration including surveillance, home automation, and cabling is an optional topic. The course is composed of lecture and in-class demonstration. Three lecture and two laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: ENGT 121 Digital Systems for Telecommunications I.
ENGT 123 Electronic Systems for 4 Telecommunications I

Topics include frequency response of filters, op-amps, oscillators, amplitude modulation, noise and LC circuits. Troubleshooting and analysis by computer simulation software is stressed throughout. Three lecture and two laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: MATH 143 Telecommunications Technical Mathematics I and CTIM 267 Computer Applications for Telecommunications.
ENGT 124 Electronic Systems for 4 Telecommunications II
Students practice the analysis and application of advanced electronic circuits as applied to the telecommunications industry. Topics include frequency modulation; communication techniques; digital, wired, and wireless transmission lines; antennas; and fiber optics. Troubleshooting and analysis by computer simulation software is stressed throughout. Three lecture and two laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: ENGT 123 Electronic Systems for Telecommunications I.
ENGT 126 Green Energy Design and Building 4
12-module online course designed to update construction industry professionals, high school and vocational educators, and consumers about the status of emerging energy systems and the recent evolution of building and infrastructure design. Both the practical applications and the underlying theories are addressed. Applications are covered at a level appropriate for discussions among contractor, architect, and consumer. Typical targeted consumers might be municipal officials, homeowners, or physical plant managers. The underlying theory of each system is discussed at the level of high school physics with references to more advanced science for those requiring it.
ENGT 127 Energy Systems Module I 3
A comprehensive study of energy, energy sources, and energy systems in our technological society. Specifically, the topics include energy, energy sources, comparative analyses of energy systems, energy efficiency, and cost analysis, energy by-products, waste, pollutants, pollution, and its environmental impact, corrective action to environmental pollution, solar energy technology, analysis of solar energy systems and improvements, and alternatives for energy systems. Prerequisite: PHYS 133 Concepts of Technical Physics II or higher.
ENGT 130 Network Fundamentals 4
First of four modules that prepare students for the Cisco CCNA Certification and introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and other computer networks. It uses the OSI and TCP layered models to examine the nature and roles of protocols and services at the application, network, data link, and physical layers. The principles and structure of IP addressing and the fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations are introduced to provide a foundation for the curriculum. Labs use a model Internet to allow students to analyze real data without affecting production networks. Packet Tracer (PT) activities help students analyze protocol and network operation and build small networks in a simulated environment. At the end of the course, students build simple LAN topologies by applying basic principles of cabling, performing basic configurations of network devices such as routers and switches, and implementing IP addressing schemes.
ENGT 131 Routing Protocols and Concepts 4
Second of four modules that prepares students for the Cisco CCNA Certification. The course describes the architecture, components, and operation of routers and explains the principles of routing and routing protocols on the Network Layer of the OSI Model and the TCP/IP Model. Students analyze, configure, verify, and troubleshoot the primary routing protocols RIPv1, RIPv2, EIGRP, and OSPF. Students complete a basic procedural lab, followed by basic configuration, implementation, and troubleshooting labs in each chapter. Packet Tracer activities reinforce new concepts and allow students to model and analyze routing processes that may be difficult to visualize or understand. Prerequisite: ENGT 130 Network Fundamentals.
