BSNT PROJECTIONS 2006 & BEYOND

Helping Students Learn

1. CCNA 3.0 Standard Bundle rack mountable 1760 Routers. These routers are needed to upgrade the outdated 2500 routers currently in use. The plan is to replace all ten 2500 routers. With theses new routers students will be able to utilize the new 3.1 curriculum.

2. 14 new computers for the Cisco/A+ lab. The current PC’s in B144 are over 4 years old and are beginning to fail regularly. Theses old computers can be utilized as upgrades for the A+ students, who desperately need PC’s that are of newer technology to work on. This would be accomplishing two goals at the same time.

Planning Continuous Improvement

Training for BSNT instructors in the Linux Operating System, Microsoft Server software, MCSE, Cisco, A+, Network+, Server+, and Security+.

Leading and Communicating

1. Expanding BSNT curriculum by offering Network+, Server+ and/or Security + in the future. Approximate cost would be upwards of $5,000.00.

2. Expanding instruction of network operating system software to include Linux Operating System.

3. Investigate additional courses to bring to the BSNT program.
