The focus of this course is on learning the fundamentals of data communications and networking. In this course, students will learn both the practical and conceptual skills that build the foundation for understanding the basics of data communication and networking. Students will examine human versus network communication and see the parallels between them. They will be introduced to the two major models used to plan and implement networks: OSI and TCP/IP. They will gain an understanding of the "layered" approach to networks and examine the OSI and TCP/IP layers in detail to understand their functions and services. They will become familiar with the various network devices, network addressing schemes and, finally, the types of media used to carry data across the network.
In this course, students will gain experience using networking utilities and tools to explore networking protocols and concepts. These tools will help students to develop an understanding of how data flows in a network and troubleshoot basic networking problems.
