"Business Data Networks and Telecommunications", CourseSmart eTextbook, 7th Edition By Raymond R. Panko ISBN-10: 0-13-606751-4 ISBN-13: 978-0-13-606751-1 Published by Prentice Hall 2009Pub. Date: May 9, 2008 Format: Electronic Book http://www.mypearsonstore.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=0136067514
Class Participation: 40 points
As determined by engagement in-class activities.
Lab Enhancement Proposal: 20 points
Students will individually create a plan to enhance the Dunn 399
computer lab. The plan must include each of the following components:
1) A full description of the current state of the lab, including a description of existing:
a) computers
b) monitors
c) electrical outlets
d) network jacks
e) printer
f) scanners
g) air conditioning
f) furniture
Points will be awarded for clear and detailed descriptions, as well as the value of the components in each area.
2) A description of the proposed enhancements.
Enhancements can be to any of the existing components or added
components. Total cost of enhancements should be between $1000
and $2000, although higher estimates will be considered if coupled with
a strong justification. The focus of the enhancments is to
improve the functionality of the lab for ICT students and faculty, so
regardless of the total cost, a justification of the value of the
enhancements is very important.
Building Level Network Architecture Plan: 40 points
Includes pricing and timeline for all material componenets and labor necessary
to wire a building for 10gb network traffic. Building specifications
are located here.
