CCT-099 Occupational Work Experience

.5-4 Units: 9-72 hours of work experience, per term, LR, DG

Prerequisite: Employment in career-related field.

For more information on this course, refer to Cooperative Education. Units are determined by number of hours worked.

This course offers on-the-job learning experiences for employed students, whether paid or volunteer, in cooperation with their employers. If students’ career goals are directly related to their work experience, they can earn up to four units per term. Students must be enrolled in at least seven units, including their cooperative education units (proportionately fewer in summer session). Petition to repeat for a maximum of 16 units.

CCT-275 Introduction to Networks CCNA 1

4 Units: 54 hours of lecture, 54 hours of lab, per term, LR, DG

This course introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the internet and other computer networks. The course 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. At the end of the course, students build simple LAN topologies by applying basic principles of cabling; performing basic configurations of network devices,
including routers and switches, and implementing IP addressing schemes. This course is preparation for the CCENT and CCNA certification exams.

4 Units: 54 hours of lecture, 54 hours of lab, per term, LR, DG

Prerequisite: CCT-276

This course covers the architecture, components and operations of routers and switches in a small network. Students learn how to configure a router and a switch for basic functionality. By the end of the course, students will be able to determine how a router will forward traffic based on the contents of a routing table, explain how switching operates in a small to medium-sized business network, use monitoring tools and network management protocols to troubleshoot data networks, configure monitoring tools available for small to medium-sized business
networks, configure monitoring tools available for small to medium-sized business networks, configure Ethernet switch ports, implement VLANs, implement static routing, implement DHCP on a router, implement network address translation (NAT) and implement access control lists (ACLs) to filter traffic. This course is a preparation for the Cisco Certified Entry-Level Network Technician (CCENT) and Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)
certification exams.
