This course is the third of four modules that will prepare students for the Cisco CCNA Certification. This course provides a comprehensive, theoretical, and practical approach to learning the technologies and protocols needed to design and implement a converged switched network. Students learn about the hierarchical network design model and how to select devices for each layer. The course explains how to configure a switch for basic functionality and how to implement Virtual LANs, VTP, and Inter-VLAN routing in a converged network. The different implementations of Spanning Tree Protocol in a converged network are presented, and students develop the knowledge and skills necessary to implement a WLAN in a small-to-medium network. Prerequisite: ENGT 130 Network Fundamentals.
ENGT 133 Accessing the WAN 4
This course is the fourth of four modules that will prepare students for the Cisco CCNA Certification. The course discusses the WAN technologies and network services required by converged applications in enterprise networks. The course uses the Cisco Network Architecture to introduce integrated network services and explains how to select the appropriate devices and technologies to meet network requirements. Finally, students learn how to detect, troubleshoot, and correct common enterprise network implementation issues. The course thoroughly covers all WAN technologies. Prerequisites: ENGT 130 Network Fundamentals, ENGT 131 Routing Protocols and Concepts, and ENGT 132 LAN Switching and Wireless.
204 Microprocessors and Digital 4 ENGT Systems
Emphasizes the uses and design of microprocessors and interfacing especially as they relate to the Personal Computer. Binary numbering systems are discussed as applied to digital systems. The course covers managing and supporting Windows operating systems. Computer hardware is studied, including the motherboard, Central Processing Unit (CPU), hard drives, memory, and optical drives. Students connect a personal computer to a network and install and set up a printer. Through hands-on experiments, the student learns how to troubleshoot, maintain and update their own personal computer. This course includes an introduction to networking and protocols using the Cisco database. Three lecture and two laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: ENGT 114 Digital Circuits.
ENGT 209 Electronic Devices 4 221 Electronic Circuit Applications 4 ENGT
Studies semiconductor physics as an aid to understanding the operation of electronic devices. Emphasis is placed on the understanding of device parameters and characteristic curves. Devices studied include the diode, transistor, the SCR, and power supplies. Three lecture and two laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: ENGT 112 Electrical Circuits II or permission of instructor. A continuation of ENGT 209 Electronic Devices. New active devices to be covered include Field Effect Transistors, Differential Amplifiers, Operational Amplifiers, Triacs, and unijunction devices. These devices will be used in amplifier circuits, oscillators, power control circuits, digital and analog circuits, and various industrial applications. Three lecture and two laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: ENGT 209 Electronic Devices or permission of instructor.
227 Instrumentation and Measurements 3 ENGT
Covers the principles of basic electronic test equipment and their applications. The equipment is first analyzed and then utilized in active circuits. The equipment covered includes power supplies, VOM & digital voltmeters, function generators, oscilloscopes, frequency counters, and specialized equipment. Two lecture and two laboratory hours per week.
ENGT 228 Electronic Communications 4 Technology
Covers analog and digital communications systems with an emphasis on fiber optic cable as a transmission media. Topics include modulation, demodulation, multiplexing, de-multiplexing, and the advantages and disadvantages of various transmission media. Topics related to the telephone network will be emphasized. This will include an introduction to networking and protocols using the Cisco database. Approximately half of the laboratory sessions will use computer software to simulate circuits and systems. Two lecture and four laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: ENGT 209 Electronic Devices or permission of instructor. Co-requisite: ENGT 221 Electronic Circuit Applications or permission of instructor.
