The use of technology is escalating in everyday tasks for communication and
collaboration. As we become increasingly dependent on services such as email
and cell phones, the demand for interconnection of communication devices and
systems grows. It is the role of networked systems professionals to select,
design, deploy, integrate, evaluate, and administer network and communication
infrastructures. The Networked Devices and Systems
track emphasizes courses in
deployment of networks with specific design and protocol requirements; applying networking to deploy services in multimedia, information storage and distribution, security, and services on the Internet such as the World Wide Web and email; and operating systems analysis and management.
This track emphasizes a significant understanding of the computer from
low-level machine architecture to user-level application and service
management. Examples of everyday services managed by networked systems
professionals are
router and smart switch management for deploying and securing networks; server configuration, management, analysis, modeling, and evaluation; and intrusion prevention and detection, system auditing and forensics.
Network and systems administrators find employment in companies and
organizations of every type, from banks to law firms, from universities to the
government; each of these institutions needs someone to run their network and
email services and to protect private data from outside intruders.
In addition to the
degree requirements
for all Computer Science majors,
the Networked Devices and Systems track
has the following requirements specific to the track:
