Course Details

This introductory network engineering course prepares students for a career as a network engineer. This course students learn how devices communicate in a network; the protocols devices use to transmit, receive, and interpret information and how some of the widely used network protocols work, such as IP, Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP), TCP, UDP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name System (DNS), and HTTP. In the final module, students analyze how DHCP, ARP, DNS, and HTTPS make web browsing work by tracking a data packet.
