CIT-140 Practical Computer System Integration &<br />
Troubleshooting Computer-based Training (CBT) 3 Credits<br />
Using several multi-media tools, this course covers most major technical issues related to<br />
Personal Computer and/or Workstation troubleshooting. Through real-world simulations,<br />
students gain an understanding of situations where hardware & software problems lead to<br />
lost productivity and “downtime”. Students are taught methodologies and techniques that can<br />
be used to resolve problems that arise from complex computer system integration. Although<br />
intended primarily for students in the business and medical �elds, anyone interested in<br />
learning more about Windows XP, hardware and software issues relating to PC and workstation<br />
connection to networks and the Internet should consider taking this course. Troubleshooting<br />
fundamentals, tools, error messages and their meaning and use of the command prompt are<br />
also taught. Upon completion of this course, students will have detailed knowledge, skills<br />
and competencies required to troubleshoot most PC and workstation problems. All Learner<br />
Outcomes and Competencies in this course are approved by the National Workforce Center<br />

CIT-162 Introduction to Networking 3 Credits<br />
This course introduces students to fundamental networking concepts and technologies. The<br />
material in this course encompasses a broad range of technologies that facilitate how people<br />
work, live, play, and learn by communicating with voice, video, and other data. First, you<br />
will examine human versus network communication and see the parallels between them.<br />
Next, you will be introduced to the two major models used to plan and implement networks:<br />
OSI and TCP/IP. You will gain an understanding of the “layered” approach to networks and<br />
examine the OSI and TCP/IP layers in detail to understand their functions and services. You<br />
will become familiar with the various network devices, network addressing schemes and,<br />
�nally, the types of media used to carry data across the network. In this course, you will<br />
gain experience using networking utilities and tools, such as Packet Tracer and Wireshark®,<br />
to explore networking protocols and concepts. These tools will help you to develop an<br />
understanding of how data �ows in a network. A special “model Internet” is also used to<br />
provide a test environment where a range of network services and data can be observed<br />
and analyzed. Prerequisite: Applications and Concepts (CIT110) or Information Technology<br />
Fundamentals (CIT112) or IT Problem Solving (CIT113) or Intro to Computer Science &<br />
