Required Courses
The focus of this course is on learning the fundamentals of networking. Students will learn both the practical and conceptual skills that build the foundation for understanding basic networking as networking and the Internet affect people differently in different parts of the world.
Human versus network communication are examined to see the parallels between them. The two major models, OSI and TCP/IP that are used to plan and implement networks will be introduced.
Students will gain an understanding of the "layered" approach to networks and examine the OSI and TCP/IP layers in detail to understand their functions and services. They will also become familiar with the various network devices, network addressing schemes and, finally, the types of media used to carry data across the network.
Offered at Winnipeg Technical College.
The primary focus of this course is on routing and routing protocols. The goal is to develop an understanding of how a router learns about remote networks and determines the best path to those networks.
This course includes both static routing and dynamic routing protocols. By examining multiple routing protocols, students will gain better understanding of each of the individual routing protocols and a better perspective of routing in general. Learning the configuration of routing protocols is fairly simple. Developing an understanding of the routing concepts themselves is more difficult, yet is critical for implementing, verifying, and troubleshooting routing operations.
Offered at Winnipeg Technical College.
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the area of network & information security. The course provides the conceptual foundation for more advanced topics covered in later IAS courses. In this course, students are exposed to basic concepts such as the context of information security, legislation, threats, policies, procedures, security management issues, and risk management and assessment. The course is designed to be conceptual in nature and provides limited hands on experience in working with many of the concepts presented.
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the area of cryptography and encryption and how it relates to network security. The course will cover the key concepts of encryption and examine how they apply to the network environment and eBusiness in general. The benefits and drawbacks of encryption will also be discussed.
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the concepts of counter measures, and safeguards such as remote access controls, firewalls, intrusion detection systems and virtual private networks. The prerequisite for the course is successful completion of the IASC level 1 & 2 courses. The course is designed to be conceptual in nature and provides limited hands on experience in working with many of the concepts presented.
The student will be introduced to the methodology surrounding incident response, response escalation, and forensic evidence collection. The course will cover the processes and procedures involved with IR, and provide students with practical hands-on training related to response escalation and forensic evidence gathering.
Elective Courses
IT projects are often beset by impossible deadlines, difficult
stakeholders, unproven technologies and ever changing requirements.
IT project managers have responded by adopting best practices
from other industries and by developing IT specific methods. This
purpose of this course is to introduce students to the fundamentals
of project management for IT professionals. The course blends
project management and system development theory and practice to
demonstrate how project management principles are applied in the
delivery of information technologies. An emphasis is placed on the
areas of project management of most interest to IT professionals. This
course also briefly introduces students emerging areas and topics of
current interest to IT project managers.
