Program Description:
Seneca's School of Information and Communications Technology is a recognized leader in the networking world. This program is built on partnerships with some of the most influential names in networking today - Cisco, IBM, Microsoft - and focuses on network design, LAN administration and microcomputer support. Courses in the first three semesters are identical to those of the Computer Networking and Technical Support (CNS) program, allowing seamless transfer between the two. A valuable optional co-op in the senior semesters gives you an opportunity to apply your learning to the real world. The fourth, fifth and sixth semesters expose you to advanced concepts and hands-on training in network design and optimization, advanced topics in security, data communication and Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP), UNIX/ Linux administration, multi-player gaming administration, IBM Series i operations and connectivity, and e-commerce support.
Some of the subjects you'll study include: programming and web programming languages, system methodologies (object oriented analysis and design), Internet client and server side development, design and maintenance of database systems, data communications, security and a variety of operating systems (Windows, Unix, Linux, IBM System i). In semesters five and six, you may select from a broad offering of professional options. You'll also integrate systems and technical skills in the planning and implementation of a "real-life" computer project for a business client.
Advantages:
And finally, you'll benefit from experience with our industry partners' innovative products first-hand. Cisco, Microsoft and IBM are all present in our labs. Work with them in class or use the open learn areas to practice your work outside of class. You'll even have 24/7 access to Seneca's extensive computing services from external sites.
