Lab to Support Electronic Communications: Digital-Data and Networking

该项目正在开发一个支持电子通信的实验室。电信设备和软件/网络集成行业领域的快速增长表明，对具有光纤和网络等概念知识、熟悉现代通信硬件中的体系结构并熟悉电子仿真软件的工人的需求大幅增加。将现有计算机重新分配到第一年的电子实验室支持使用模拟软件的实验。计算机维修测试实验室正在支持铜缆和光纤网络的实验。在改进实验的同时，还引入了新的授课材料，以补充学生对无线通信主题的理解，如无线电、卫星、电缆和手机操作。改进项目将使学生为在快速增长的电信行业追求职业生涯做好更好的准备，和/或继续他们的四年制学院和大学水平的学习。

This project is developing a laboratory to support electronic communications. Rapid growth in the telecommunications equipment and software/network integration industrial segments suggests that there is a dramatic increase in the demand for workers knowledgeable in concepts such as fiber optics and networking, experienced with the architecture found in modern communications hardware, and familiar with electronics simulation software. Reallocation of existing computers to the first year electronics lab is supporting experiments using simulation software. The computer repair test laboratory is supporting experiments in copper and fiber optic networking. In conjunction with the lab improvements, new lecture materials are being introduced to supplement the students' understanding of wireless communications topics, such as radio, satellite, cable, and cell phone operations. The improvement project will produce students significantly better prepared to pursue careers in the rapidly growing telecommunications industry, and/or continue their studies at the four-year college and university level.
