- The principles and practices used in the installation of residential electrical wiring systems are embraced from start to finish in a way that clearly explains what needs to be done and also how to do it. Content is organized the way a typical residential wiring project is undertaken, covering the major areas of preparing and planning a job, service entrances and equipment, rough-in and trim-out, and maintaining/troubleshooting a residential electrical wiring system.
Introduction to basic electricity/electronics principles with emphasis on hands-on application of theory. Expanded discussions of Capacitive AC, Inductive AC, and Resonance Circuits is just the beginning! Integrated problems provide greater opportunities to apply basic electronics principles and develop critical thinking skills by building and troubleshooting circuits..
IT Essentials II: Network Operating Systems is an intensive introduction to multi-user, multi-tasking network operating systems. Characteristics of the Linux, Windows 2000, NT, and XP network operating systems will be discussed. Students will explore a variety of topics including installation procedures, security issues, back up procedures and remote access.
IT Essentials: PC Hardware and Software v4.0 covers the fundamentals of computer hardware and software as well as advanced concepts. Students who complete this course will be able to describe the internal components of a computer, assemble a computer system, install an operating system, and troubleshoot using system tools and diagnostic software. Students will also be able to connect to the Internet and share resources in a network environment. New topics included in this version include laptops and portable devices, wireless connectivity, security, safety and environmental issues, and communication skills.
Hands-on lab activities will continue to be an essential element of the course. In support of this, virtual learning tools are integrated into this course. The Virtual Laptop and Virtual Desktop are stand-alone tools designed to supplement classroom learning and provide an interactive "hands-on" experience in learning environments with limited physical equipment.
Introduction to the operation of computer networks and data communications. Examination of the history and evolution of data communications and computer networks. Hardware and software network configurations, operations and requirements will be discussed. Topics include communication codes,transmission media, the OSI model, network standards and protocols.
CCNA 2: Routers and Routing Basics
CCNA 2: Routers and Routing Basics is the second of four CCNA courses leading to the Cisco Network Associate (CCNA) certification. CCNA 2 focuses on initial router configuration, CISCO IOS Software management, routing protocol configuration, TCP/IP, and access control lists (ACLs). Students will develop skills on how to configure a router, manage CISCO IOS Software, configure routing protocols, and access lists controlling access to the router
The course is designed to demonstrate the scope of the global Internet and will focus on the fastest growing and most widely used portion of the Internet, the World Wide Web. The course will also introduce the use of Internet browsers, file transfer protocol (FTP) sites, search engines, e-mail, newsgroups, and other Internet services. Also, this course will provide hands-on learning experiences in web page planning, design, and the creation of multimedia web pages that include web links, tables, and graphics.
