| Extended Course Description: | Catalog Course Description:
Presents the fundamentals of data communications and networking technologies. Focuses on the broad foundational coverage of key technologies and key concepts in network planning, design, and management. Major topics include network models, data and voice communications, local-area and wide-area technologies, IP networks and their applications and internetworking emphasizing the Internet.
Pre-requisites and Co-requisites:
CS 133 Computer Programming C or CS 260 Data Structures
Sophomore standing or higher
Curriculum Role:
This course is:
• Required for the BSIT program.
• Required for the BSIS program.
• A possible way to fulfill the computer networking requirement for the BSSE program.
Course Rationale:
This course develops an understanding of the core protocols that are used for TCP/IP-based networking. This provides a foundation for both network application development, and network troubleshooting.
