CPT 147 Introduction to PC Repair/
Operating Systems
3 Credits (2 Lecture 1 Lab 0 Shop)
4 Hrs/Wk (2 Lecture 2 Lab) *15 wks
This course is an introduction to the instal lation,
maintenance and repair of PCs and related
equipment and to introduce stu dents to operating
systems compatible with today’s personal
computers. It provides students with an elementary
understanding of PC environments including
system com ponents, peripherals, and component/card
interface and the fundamentals of
repair as well as intended to familiarize students
with the major features and functions of each
operating system and build competencies and
familiarity with operational aspects of the software.
This is the fi rst of two courses designed to
prepare students for the A+ exam.
CPT 166 Fundamentals of Structured Query
Language
3 Credits (3 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop)
3 Hrs/Wk (3 Hrs. Lecture) *15 wks
A broad based introduction course that will teach
all the fundamentals of relational database access
using structured query language (SQL).
The course will cover the way to effectively
retrieve and manipulate data in a database to
meet an employer’s or client’s needs. The
class will cover the basics of SQL, its strengths
and weakness es. It will focus on presenting
implementa tion-independent SQL coding and
use while highlighting several vendor specific
implementations. The students will be required
to become proficient in managing a small relational
database under MS SQL Server, hosted on
campus. Taking a hands-on approach, students
will become skilled in designing and using SQL
language to retrieve, organize, present, update
and delete data. These competencies include a
basic understanding of relational database, MS
SQL Server and SQL. All learning will be in a lab
environment where students will directly apply
instructions using individual computers.
CPT 201 Linux
3 Credits (3 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop)
3 Hrs/Wk (3 Hrs. Lecture) *15 wks
This course is an introduction to the Linux operating
system. It will provide students with the
basic introductory abilities required to install,
configure, administer, and trou bleshoot the
Linux operating system. This course will also acquaint
students with several of the many Linux
distributions available, typical Linux applications
and utilities, and it touches upon the important
command line utilities and applications. Prerequisite:
CPT 147.
CPT 202 Advanced Linux
3 Credits (3 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop)
3 Hrs/Wk (3 Hrs. Lecture) *15 wks
This course is an extension of CPT 201. The focuses
of this class are proper system management
and administration, and an introduction
to using Linux servers to fulfill the networking
needs of a typical small business or school
system. Students will configure Linux server
systems such as DNS, DHCP, Web, Mail, Samba,
routers, firewalls and file and print servers.
Prereq uisites: CPT 201 and instructor permission.
CPT 208 Routers for Beginners
3 Credits (3 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop)
3 Hrs/Wk (3 Hrs. Lecture) *15 wks
This course introduces communication equipment
that is commonly found in an effective
Internet infrastructure. The course provides product-specific
installation and configuration. Equipment
used in this class includes hubs, Ethernet
switches, and routers. Taking a hands-on approach,
stu dents will become skilled in setting up
and maintaining network equipment. All learn ing
will take place in a hands on environ ment where
students will directly apply instructions using individual
computers. Prerequisite: CPT 141.
CPT 210 Introduction to Routing
Technologies**
3 Credits (3 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop)
3 Hrs/Wk (3 Hrs. Lecture) *15 wks
This course introduces the student to con cepts
and terminology encompassing generic networking
and routed WANs. The seven layer OSI
model is examined in depth and used to explain
communication between two entities on a routed
WAN. Par ticular attention is devoted to the
TCP/IP protocol and how its addressing scheme
functions to provide network and host addresses
and can be used to subnet a large network
into more manageable seg ments. Students will
attend 45 hours of instructor-led class and an
additional 25 hours of proctored lab time. **For
Cisco Systems Articulation Agreements Only.
CPT 211 Introduction to Routers**
3 Credits (3 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop)
3 Hrs/Wk (3 Hrs. Lecture) *15 wks
This is the second semester of the four
semester routing concentration. This course
builds upon material presented in the fi rst
semester and introduces the stu dent to the
router. The major router com ponents are
examined as well as the router operating
system and configuration files. The basic router
commands are introduced and used in hands
on situations to program the routers to function
in a routed WAN environment. Students
will learn to use a TFTP server for storing
configuration files and the router operating
system and how to load new copies into router
flash and NVRAM. Students will attend 45
hours of instructor-led class and an additional
25 hours of proctored lab time. Prerequisite:
CPT 210. **For Cisco Systems Articula tion
Agreements Only.
CPT 212 Advanced Routing **
3 Credits (3 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop)
3 Hrs/Wk (3 Hrs. Lecture) *15 wks
This course is the third semester of the four
semester routing concentration. This course
builds upon material presented in the fi rst and
second semesters and intro duces the student
to the more advanced abilities required to install,
configure, administer, and troubleshoot
Cisco routers in a WAN setting. This course
introduces switching and VLANS and explains
their relevance to good network design and
implementation. Particular emphasis dur ing this
semester is placed upon ACLs (Access Control
Lists), and how they func tion to control access
through the WAN. Configuration of Novell IPX/
SPX in a Cisco WAN is also introduced. All material
is pre sented with a hands on approach in
a class/lab setting and attempts to recreate the
real world as closely as possible. Stu dents will
attend 45 hours of instructor-led class and an
additional 25 hours of proc tored lab time. Prerequisite:
CPT 211. **For Cisco Systems Articulation
