The workshop is an opportunity to understand the NCTT organization and what it can mean to your program and institution. It’s also an opportunity to meet the NCTT staff and current partners, and to meet the other faculty and administrators who are interested in partnering with the NCTT organization. In addition, this is a chance to participate in our well known, hands-on, curriculum workshop and come away with technical content that you can use in your classroom this fall.
Topics will include:
Photonics Mixed Signals: Sending and Receiving Multiple Protocols and Services over Fiber-Optic Based Networks
Professor James Downing, Co-PI, NCTT
From new chip architectures to increased tunability of fiber lasers and filters, the intelligence and complexity of fiber-optic based systems continues to grow. The efficient switching, multiplexing and configuration of multiple services across network structures and media are essential for true convergence. This workshop will focus on the latest developments that continue to add intelligence to previously physical-layer-only devices and protocols and that lead to multiple service provisioning and/or convergence of all bandwidths and services over a single channel.
Networking Advanced Protocol Analysis
Professor Gordon Snyder, PI, NCTT
This workshop will involve coverage of layers 2-7 of the OSI model with a focus on Ethernet (Layer 2) and the TCP/IP (Layers 3-7) protocols. Protocol basics will be covered as they apply to the movement of data, video and voice across a converged network. In a hands-on environment, protocol analyzers will be placed in typical network configurations and used to capture and analyze traffic. In addition, capture files (from previous protocol analysis sessions) will be used to demonstrate specific network security breaches.
Wireless Professor Gary Mullett, Co-PI, NCTT
This session will provide coverage of the rapidly evolving topic of wireless networks.
Presently, there are several diverse segments of the wireless industry involved with the deployment of new technologies used to provide wireless access to the “core network.”
These individual segments will be addresses along with current standards and practices of ensuring the security of wireless traffic.
Grant Writing Steve Budd, Assistant VP Grants & Development, STCC
Laura Qaissaunee, Director of Grants & Institutional Development, Brookdale Community College
This course will provide participants with an overview of how non-profits, state agency staff and others can write fundable grant applications to federal, state and private agencies. Topics will include writing compelling needs statements, searching for grant funds and technical assistance on-line, and developing realistic work plans and budgets.
This workshop is directed towards administrative representatives and will run concurrent to the technology tracks.
