Curriculum Details
Sample courses include:
• IT Basics: This module provides students with a basic understanding of the components in an information technology system and their roles in system operation.
• Coding: This module provides an introduction to problem-solving techniques and the computer program development process through coding in a high-level language. Topics include: program structure; data types; variables; operations; expressions; input/output; sequence, selection, and repetition; functions; data structures; and software design techniques. Concepts are reinforced with many programming laboratory-exercises throughout the course.
• Security Principles & Foundations: This module provides an overview of the cybersecurity field and its related concepts. An introduction to cybersecurity terminology, best practices, principles and standards, planning and management of cybersecurity functions and assets are included. This module will provide a foundation for understanding common threats and attacks and the methods and tools to defend and protect against them, an overview of human, organizational, social, and legal issues related to cybersecurity. and concepts which meet national standards in cybersecurity.
• Network Foundations: This course discusses the foundations of computer networks. The course participant will learn about the network architecture including the OSI model and the layering concept. The TCP/IP protocol stack layers will be discussed. Participants will learn about physical layer concepts including communication media, multiplexing, and switching, data link layer concepts and protocols (e.g., MAC protocols for wired LANs such as Ethernet, and ARP), network layer concepts and protocols (e.g., routing and IPv4), transport layer concepts and protocols (e.g., reliable data transfer, TCP, UDP), and application layer concepts such as client-servers. The course also provides an overview of wireless networking technologies (WiFi).
