Bachelor of Science - Network Engineering and Security

Program Description

The BS in Network Engineering and Security focuses on the theory and practice of designing, deploying and managing both wired and wireless networks technologies, including broadband Internet access technologies, interconnection technologies, network convergence, and network security.

Learning Outcomes

​Students will be able to:

Describe and demonstrate how data packets are addressed and forwarded through switches, routers, and firewalls.

Compare and contrast different wide-area network (WAN) technologies to support enterprise network requirements.

Compare and configure internal gateway routing protocols (RIP, OSPF, EIGRP) that dynamically determine data paths through networks with unreliable components.

Define and allocate IPv4 and IPv6 address subnets to satisfy network requirements.

Describe and contrast techniques for making use of multiple redundant paths in switched and routed networks.

Implement firewall technologies to enforce a given access policy and assess its efficiency.

Identify and analyze security threats in network implementations, propose remedies and prioritize action plans.
