CSC 110 COURSE OVERVIEW: This course introduces participants to the key concepts of data
communications, telecommunications and networking. It provides a solid
introduction to networking fundamentals including key acronyms, protocols, and
components that are essential to understanding how networks operate today.
Students will master the OSI model, which is a theoretical model, designed to
facilitate an understanding of what happens in a network. Upon completion, the
participant will have a solid understanding of how information travels from a
source computer to a destination computer across a complex network. KEY TOPICS Computer and computer
software basics Network cabling and topologies Computer protocols and services The OSI model Networking devices Local area networking principles Wide area networking principles Building a computer network OBJECTIVES: Detailed
