COMPUTER HARDWARE NETWORK ENGINEERING ABCD
From Career and Technical Education
5050 COMPUTER HARDWARE/NETWORK ENGINEERING A (ROP)
Subtitle: Network Fundamentals
(Semester) Sophomore, Junior, Senior
Prerequisite: None
This course introduces the structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and other computer networks. It focuses on the Small Office/Home Office environment. Students learn the principles and structure of IP addressing and the fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations of the Internet.
Labs use a simulated “model Internet” to allow students to analyze real data. At the end of the course, students build simple LAN topologies by applying basic principles of cabling, performing basic configurations of network devices such as routers and switches, and implementing IP addressing schemes.
Note: This course is part of the AHS Network Management Pathway. The pathway is aligned and articulated with curriculum and course at Pasadena City College. The pathway is designed to help student earn credit early for college as well as help them set career paths. For further information contact the AHS ROP office.
5051 COMPUTER HARDWARE/NETWORK ENGINEERING B (ROP)
Subtitle: Routing Protocols and Concepts
(Semester) Sophomore, Junior, Senior
Prerequisite: A grade of “C” or higher in Computer Hardware and Network Engineering A, Microcomputer Hardware/Software or Computer Science Networking A.
This course describes the architecture, components, and operation of routers, and explains the principles of routing and routing protocols. Students analyze, configure, verify, and troubleshoot the primary routing protocols RIPv1, RIPv2, EIGRP, and OSPF. By the end of this course, students will be able to recognize and correct common routing issues and problems.

5052 COMPUTER HARDWARE/NETWORK ENGINEERING C (ROP)
Subtitle: LAN Switching and Wireless
(Semester) Sophomore, Junior, Senior
Prerequisite: A grade of “C” or higher in Computer Hardware and Network Engineering B.
This course provides a comprehensive, theoretical, and practical approach to learning the technologies and protocols needed to design and implement a converged switched network. Students learn about the hierarchical network design model and how to select devices for each
layer. The course explains how to configure a switch for basic functionality and how to implement Virtual LANs, VTP, and Inter-VLAN routing in a converged network.
Students develop the knowledge and skills necessary to implement a WLAN in a small-to-medium network.

5053 COMPUTER HARDWARE/NETWORK ENGINEERING D (ROP)
Subtitle: Accessing the WAN
(Semester) Sophomore, Junior, Senior
Prerequisite: A grade of “C” or higher in Computer
Hardware and Network Engineering C.
This course discusses the WAN technologies and network services required by converged applications in Enterprise networks. The course uses the Cisco Network Architecture to introduce integrated network services and explains how to select the appropriate devices and technologies to meet network requirements. Students learn how to implement and configure common data link protocols and how to apply WAN security concepts, principles of traffic, access control, and addressing services. Finally, students learn how to detect, troubleshoot, and correct common enterprise network implementation issues.
