Topics include networking hardware, topologies, media, protocols, and standards; network operating system server and client software, internetworking devices; network planning and administration. Networks falling under the traditional categories of local area networks, metropolitan area networks, and wide area networks will be considered, with possible emphasis on local networks. Some hands-on experience installing and managing network components will be included to the extent that facilities, equipment, and technical support permit. Prerequisites: NTCOMM 305. Section 1 (T/Th 10:40am-11:55pm) and 2 (T/Th 3:15-4:30 PM). Dr. Tom Cavaiani NTCOMM 325 Network Applications Development: Analysis, design, and implementation of on-line systems using Internet and World Wide Web standards. Topics include client-server architectural alternatives, tools and development environments, database interfaces, use of multimedia, and challenges unique to the delivery environments. Subject to resource and technology availability, students may implement projects using client-side scripting, server-side programming tools, or other distributed/cooperative processing approaches. Prerequisites: NTCOMM 305 and proficiency and at least one college-level class in a modern programming language. Section 1 (T/Th: 1:40-2:55 PM) and 2 (T/Th 6:00- 7:15 PM).

Dr. Sharon Tabor and Dr. Robert Minch NTCOMM 465 Computer & Network Security - (New!) An in-depth exploration of security issues and challenges for the business enterprise in our increasingly insecure world. Technology, tools, risk, and business policy will be addressed. Prerequisites: NTCOMM 315. Section 1 (T/Th 4:40-5:55pm) Dr. Sharon Tabor NTCOMM 496 Professional Network Certification Elective (NTCOMM Independent Study). Allows a student to specialize in a particular aspect of networking, study that area at their own pace, and demonstrate their achievement through passing one or more certification exams. Additionally, they will demonstrate they can integrate and apply that knowledge and experience by passing a summary oral exam, summary written exam, or completing a summary project. See instructor for approval to enroll in this guided study program, certification specifics, or check the certification link for general questions. Section1 (as scheduled) Dr. Sharon Tabor NTCOMM 475 Hands-On Network Management: A hands-on seminar/lab approach to managing an operational computer network. Topics will include many TCP/IP protocols and standards for name service (DNS), file transfers (FTP), Web service (HTTP, HTML), electronic mail (SMTP, POP, IMAP), internetworking and routing, and network management (SNMP), etc. Students in the class will operate, maintain, and enhance a dedicated laboratory facility of networked client and server computers, obtaining hands-on experience in the process. If conditions permit, the class may offer services such as dial-up Internet access or Web application development to clients outside the class, in a realistic business environment. During the Fall 2003 semester, this class will operate bsu.net (see http://www.bsu.net), the first Internet Service Provider run by a college class. Prerequisites: NTCOMM 305 and 315 with B or better, or NTCOMM 305 with grade of A, experience with UNIX and/or Windows NT, and permission of instructor. It is suggested (but not required) that the Computer Networking class be taken before this class. Section 1 (T/Th 12:15-1:30pm). Dr. Sharon Tabor Last Update: January 26, 2006 by BOISESTATE\stabor |
