Experience scope
Categories
Information technologySkills
competitive analysis business consulting communication researchThe process of analyzing and designing a new network or designing a network upgrade is a formal process. There are distinct phases involved in the design process of a network, of which any or all can be applied to any network. Students working on this project will concentrate on the first four phases of the network design process; Requirements Gathering, Traffic Analysis, Logical Design, and Physical Design. Installation and Maintenance, will not be a focus of the course.
Company partners will benefit from having a student group conduct a detailed analysis of their existing network infrastructure, as well as an analysis of the present and future needs of the user population. Any areas where the user needs are not presently met, will have practical solutions designed to address these areas of concern.
Practical exercises will be used wherever possible to reinforce student learning and help directly involve the company partner to better ensure appropriate solutions are developed..
