PROGRAM OVERVIEW

 

          The Diploma in Computer Design in Networking and Telecommucation is designed to enhance the knowledge, skills and attitudes of an individual in the application of networking and telecommunications technologies in various environments. It provides the basic principles of communications and work standards, and theories and trainings on the use of computers in the design, implementation, and maintenance of telecommunications.

 

         The student of this program installs, troubleshoots, repairs and maintains personal computer systems and maintains, fine tunes, monitors and troubleshoots networks including filer servers, workstations, cable, NIC cards, shared resources (printer, hard disks install), network operating system, hubs, switches and routers.

 

        The modules in this program will be delivered through (a) interactive discussions in the classroom utilizing visual aids and other teaching materials to gain the knowledge and (b) laboratory classes to acquire the required skills and competencies. Take home reading assignments may also be given from time to time.

 

Specifically, some of the teaching methodologies to be utilized are:

 

• Interactive lecture and discussion

• Problem solving

• Simulation (hands-on machine problems and exercises)

• Individualize learning

• On-the-job training

 

Upon completion of this course, the trainees/students with the necessary competencies, should be able to perform the duties, responsibilities and acquired attitude relevant to the job titles:

 

• Computer and Network Administrator

• Systems Administrator
