Networking and Support Systems
The Networking and Support Systems Department at Cincinnati State prepares students to successfully install, maintain, and support networking systems for industries, businesses, and other organizations. Numerous entities—from large corporations to individual households—rely on computer networks to enhance production and complete daily tasks. The associate’s degree programs in Networking and Support Systems provide areas of specialization for students interested in a computer networking career.
- Business Network Administration (NETB) is a business degree program that prepares graduates for careers in the software, administration, and security areas of networking with a concentration on the business side of the networking industry. Students complete business courses in marketing, management, accounting, and law. Networking courses focus on design, administration, security, and network maintenance.
- Computer Network Engineering Technology (NETC) prepares graduates to work in the hardware industry of the networking field. It is an engineering-based program, emphasizing installation, setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting of network hardware. Students complete courses in physics, engineering-based electronics, and networking hardware.
- The new Computer Network Engineering Technology Cyber-Security major (NETCCS) prepares graduates to assist organizations that must comply with regulations related to information security, or safeguard customer information or other sensitive data.
- Computer Support and Administration Technology (CSA) has less emphasis on electronics. Students in this program should have an interest in the basics of electronics and desire extensive training in the installation and maintenance of personal computers. Graduates attain positions as PC technicians, help desk managers, and PC user trainers.
Business Network Administration (NETB)
Students in the Business Network Administration program learn to plan, implement, analyze, and administer local, campus-wide, metropolitan, and wide area networks. Students develop expertise in all facets of networking including network operating systems, security systems, network hardware, server administration, virtualization, and messaging tools. Graduates of the NETB program are proficient with server setup and configuration, server administration, network security measures, messaging, network wiring, and network help desk operations.
Career opportunities for program graduates vary due to the diverse occupations available in the business industry.
Job titles for NETB graduates may include: Network Administrator, Network Specialist, Network Technician, and Network Security Administrator.
Computer Network Engineering Technology (NETC)
The Computer Network Engineering Technology program emphasizes the design, installation, and support of an organization’s local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), network segment, internet, or intranet system. Graduates of the program provide day-to-day, on-site administrative support for a variety of work environments, including professional offices, small businesses, schools, government agencies, and large corporations.
The Computer Network Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, phone: (410) 347-7700
Computer Network Engineering Technology - Cyber-Security Major (NETCCS)
Note: This major is pending approval by the Ohio Board of Regents.
The Cyber-Security major combines technical knowledge and skills in Computer Network Engineering Technology with understanding of security planning, risk mitigation, and related documentation requirements. Graduates are prepared to assist organizations that must comply with federal or state government regulations related to information security, or must meet payment card industry requirements to safeguard customer information or other sensitive data.
Computer Support and Administration Technology (CSA)
Computer Support and Administration program graduates are troubleshooters responsible for interpreting problems and providing technical support assistance, support, and advice to customers and users. Students learn to install, set up, and maintain hardware and software for microcomputers. Courses include computer operating systems, data communications, networking, and support center management.
Career opportunities for program graduates are diverse, for several reasons. The sheer number of computers and users in business and industry creates ever-changing work environments and challenges. Also, gaining assistance in using software effectively is generally a high priority for businesses and users. Finally, the graduate’s knowledge and skills are applicable to a class of computers, rather than to a particular company, so graduates have significant job mobility as well as opportunities for entrepreneurial work.
Job titles for Computer Support and Administration graduates may include: senior PC support technician, PC system coordinator, or helpdesk manager.
