1 ESUMS HIGH SCHOOL Computer Network & Engineering (CNE) Syllabus Teacher: Dr. Didacus Oparaocha Room: Meeting Hours: 2A/3A Course Description: Computer Networking Engineering exposes students to comprehensive networking concepts and skills, from network applications to the protocols and services provided to those applications by the lower layers of the network. Students will progress from basic networking to more complex enterprise and theoretical networking models later in the curriculum. The program includes the following features: Students learn the basics of routing, switching, and advanced technologies to prepare for the Cisco CCENT (2 Semesters) and CCNA Routing & Switching / Voice or Security (additional 2 Semesters) certification exams, networking related degree programs, and entrylevel networking careers. The language used to describe networking concepts is designed to be easily understood by learners at all levels and embedded interactive activities help reinforce comprehension. Courses emphasize critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and the practical application of skills. 1

2 Multimedia learning tools, including videos, games, and quizzes, address a variety of learning styles and help stimulate learning and promote increased knowledge retention. Hands-on labs and Packet Tracer simulation-based learning activities help students develop critical thinking and complex problem solving skills. Embedded assessments provide immediate feedback to support the evaluation of knowledge and acquired skills. Computer Networking & Engineering (CNE) gives students the opportunity to develop skills and understanding of course concepts through activity-, project, and problem-based (APPB) learning. Used in combination with a teaming approach, APPB learning challenges students to continually hone their interpersonal skills, creative abilities, and problem solving skills based upon engineering concepts. It also allows students to develop strategies to enable and direct their own learning, which is the ultimate goal of education. The introductory courses introduce the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and other computer networks. 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. By the end of either course, students will be able to build simple LANs, perform basic configurations for routers and switches, and implement IP addressing schemes. To be successful in CNE, students should be concurrently enrolled in college preparatory Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Students will develop problem-solving skills and apply their knowledge of research and design to create solutions to various challenges. Students will also learn how to document their work and communicate their solutions to their peers and members of the professional community. 2

3 Course Expectations: Students who complete Introduction to Networking and Networking Essentials will be able to: Understand and describe the devices and services used to support communications in data networks and the Internet Understand and describe the role of protocol layers in data networks Understand and describe the importance of addressing and naming schemes at various layers of data networks in IPv4 and IPv6 environments Design, calculate, and apply subnet masks and addresses to fulfill given requirements in IPv4 and IPv6 networks Explain fundamental Ethernet concepts such as media, services, and operations Build a simple Ethernet network using routers and switches Use Cisco command-line interface (CLI) commands to perform basic router and switch configurations Utilize common network utilities to verify small network operations and analyze data traffic Required Annual Engineering projects: Students are required to use rubric and apply the 12 STEP engineering process. Group 1: School Information Network - Building and maintaining a Cloud based system Group 2: ITE - IT Essential - Rebuilding computer systems and management of Cisco rooms and devices Group 3: Building and maintenance of small In-School Infrastructure Also students should be able to demonstrate: An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data 3

4 An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility An ability to communicate effectively The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning A knowledge of contemporary issues An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice Sample Course Activities/Projects/Assessments: Exploration of engineering careers Student presentations Engineering log Prerequisite: Completion or waiver of Technology or Engineering department or the consent of the instructors is required. Required Materials: 3 Inch 3 Ring Binder, Engineering graphed notebook, and Composition notebook. Standards: Technology Policies Much of the work in this course will require use of the computer; so these policies are designed to help students better understand how to be effective in a technology-rich environment. 4

5 1. Laptop and Software: Student could bring their appropriately equipped laptop to class every day except when otherwise announced. 2. Unapproved Technology: The in-class use of unapproved technology will not be tolerated and in certain cases will constitute a violation of academic honesty. 3. Appropriate Collaboration: Team participation is a proven and useful means by which students can learn material. Much information is easily accessible by searching the web. Students are encouraged to appropriately use information from other students, the web, and other resources. However, any information used from other students or any other resource must be cited. Backups: All students are expected to back-up their work. No exceptions! Late submission of student work will be accepted with a 10% grade deduction as a weekly penalty. No work will be accepted after two weeks and grading will reflect accordingly. Students have no more than two classroom days to make up quizzes, Do now s, and tests. Student Evaluation / Grading Chapter Test / Quizzes: 20% Do Now s, Lab / Simulations, presentations, & class participation: 30% Binder/e-portfolio /Engineering Notebook: 10% Projects:20% Test / Performance Assessment: 20% Optional IT Internship Scale: A s: 90% A-<93 A 100% B s: 80% B-<83 B < 87 B+ < 90% C s: 70% C- <73 C < 77 C+ < 80% D s: 60% D- < 63% D < 77 D+ < 70% F: 0% F <60% College Credit: To obtain College credit, student must be able to pass the Cisco CCNA CCENT Exam and Pass the Introduction to Networking and Networking Essentials Modules with a C average. 5
