PROFESSIONAL DIPLOMA IN NETWORK ENGINEERING

WELCOME TO THE PDNE TRAINING PROGRAM

OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF THE COURSE

We, proudly introduce our PDNE (Professional Diploma in Network Engineering) course package, for people aspiring to have careers as network administrators or wireless administrators who want an objective assessment of their skills who would like certification of their accomplishments. Network engineers, sometimes known as network administrators, design, install and maintain computer communication systems within an organisation or between organisations. These systems allow workers to share files and

resources, access the internet and email, and collect and process data. local area networks (LANs) - connecting workstations within an office, building or limited area metropolitan area networks (MANs) - linking networks citywide or across a region wide area networks (WANs) - linking national or international networks global area networks (GANs) - combining networks over an unlimited geographical area. Network engineers' key responsibilities are to make sure that an organisation's computer system has the capacity to meet its business

needs and is secure. Examples of their work can include installing a new computer-based call handling system for a contact centre or servicing a bank's ATM Network. Typical duties include:

• Installing new software and hardware • Setting up user-accounts, permissions and passwords • Maintaining adequate security, especially where networks link to the

internet • Finding and fixing faults • Implementing preventative maintenance schedules • Giving technical support for end-users

3

• Providing training on new systems • Carrying out day-to-day administration and monitoring network use • Planning and implementing future developments.

Opportunities … come capitalize on the growth! Whether you're thinking of getting into networking or have already been a part of it, you'll find a bright growth path ahead of you. Starting with network or system administration, career opportunities can open up in a lot of areas ranging from security, storage, WAN management, wireless, data center management, Unified Communications, and many others. Career Path In an enterprise, a professional will typically start his career as a LAN administrator. Later with some experience he can take responsibilities of a senior level network manager who will be into planning and designing of LAN, including wireless and security. After acquiring some years of experience in planning and designing the network, a professional can take the role of a consultant as he would have experience in implementing the network setup and also have knowledge of technologies and hardware requirements. But to grow, he'll have to enhance his skill set beyond the knowledge of LAN configuration and administration, and look ahead to technologies that are part of networking. A few of the specialized streams of networking domains, where network professionals are in demand, include Storage, Security, WAN, Virtualization / Consolidation, Wireless and Mobility. The networking domain has a plethora of job titles, many of which refer to very similar and at times identical job roles, like Network Engineer, Network Administrator, Network Analyst, Systems Administrator, etc. Now with specializations coming into picture, new job titles that are coming up in the enterprises include Security Analyst for network security, Network Storage Administrator for storage management and Wireless Network Engineer for a Wi-Fi consulting agency. Let's have a look at various specialized domains where a network professional can build his career. The audience for this course package ranges from people with knowledge in system administration to individuals who

4

are working in intermediate positions in the field and also who want an objective assessment of their skills and would like certification of their accomplishments. Each section in this course package fully explain common and not so common Problems, what cause problems and how to handle problems when they arrive.

SCHEME OF EXAMINATION AND AWARD OF MARKS

The scheme of examinations shall consist of external end examinations and internal assessments based on periodical tests, assignments and attendance in theory subjects and sectional work in practical subjects

The Role of a Computer Service Professional As computers have evolved, so has the role of the computer technician.

Matching the rapid pace of change in the industry, the role of the computer professional is constantly changing, too. Not too many years ago, the only tools needed to repair a computer were a screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, the documentation for the computer, a boot disk with a few utilities, and a good MS-DOS reference manual. The screwdriver is still the standard repair tool, but the technician is confronted with a wider array of case types, motherboard designs, processor types, and operating systems—and a wider array of customer needs. Today's computer professional needs to be a technician and diplomat rolled into one, as you can see by the table that follows.

Title Skills

Technician You are able to troubleshoot and repair hardware and software efficiently and quickly.

Diplomat

You are able to instill in the user (your customer) the confidence that you are in control and can fix things, even when you are encountering problems for the first time. You are able to resolve the problem, even if your customer's (lack of) understanding of the computer might be part of that problem.

Level 1:Technician Level

It is very important to note that; there are no official prerequisites for learning this course package (Post Graduate Diploma in Network Engineering). But

7

you are expected to familiar with the working of electronic circuits and corresponding technical terms and have at least a basic idea of operating PCs. There fore this technician level provides you with opportunity to gain the knowledge base and it gives you the confidence to get started. For the non technical students or entry-level students, it starts by explaining the basic and moves on to more complex topics. Once the foundation is established, it brings you up to date with the latest technology.

Network Engineering Planning is essential part of any network installation or upgrade. Before you install or even select new hardware, you must think about issues such as hardware compatibility, buses requirements, and ergonomics. Planning a network is a combination of common sense and knowledge about the hardware & software that make up the network. Therefore, this session of PDNE program examines some of the factors you should consider during the network planning static and discusses how your discussion can affect your future actions.
