Description
Sensing the need for IT professionals fluent in networking and system administration the CIT department in 1996 added a second degree option in computer networking. Starting with a single lecture-only elective course in Data Communications, the Network Engineering Technology program has grown in popularity and now makes up over half of the department's graduates.
Students enrolled in NET learn the theory and practice of creating highly available and secure voice and data networks. In lecture/laboratory based courses students focus on the design, implementation, maintenance and security of networks and networked computers. Areas of emphasis include routing and switching, system and network administration, and system management. Throughout their coursework emphasis is placed on building and maintaining reliability and security as key components of any network. This emphasis has developed into a department signature area in information security.
Through strategic faculty hires and the development of unique learning laboratories made possible by the support of dedicated industrial partners including many of the companies who attended the Computer Roundtable, the CIT department has been able to establish a national leadership position in the Network Engineering Technology education domain.
