BHCC Computer Network Program: Upgrading Microcomputer Technician Skills with a Dedicated Novell Lab

通过这个项目，计算机技术部正在建立一个Novell网络系统，这是目前的行业标准。该网络类似于现实世界的局域网，由18台IBM pc和3台Power MAC工作站以及几台打印机组成。该实验室支持新的一年制证书课程中的四门核心课程：网络导论、网络管理、高级网络管理和互联网工作基础。学院还提供62学分的计算机网络副学士学位课程。符合条件的学生包括：目前在职的需要职业发展培训的计算机操作员，高中毕业生，以及工作培训伙伴关系法案下的客户。有关该项目的信息及其成果将通过美国社区学院协会、新英格兰高等教育委员会、互联网和面向高中教师的暑期技术预备学院广泛分享。

Through this project, the Computer Technology Department is establishing a Novell network system, which is currently the industry standard. The newtwork resembles a real-world local area network, consisting of 18 IBM PCs and 3 Power MAC workstations, as well as several printers. The laboratory supports four core courses in a new 1-year certificate program: Introduction to Networks, Network Administration, Advanced Network Administration, and Fundamentals of Internet Work. The college also offers a 62-credit associate degree program in Computer Networks. Eligible students include: currently employed computer operators requiring training for career advancement, high school graduates, and clients under the Job Training Partnership Act. Information about the project and its outcomes will be widely shared through the American Association of Community Colleges, the New England Board of Higher Education, Internet, and a summer Tech Prep institute for high school teachers.
